When it comes to pure speed and raw acceleration, you’d be hard pressed to find a car that offers you more bang for the buck than a Tesla Model S. Specifically, the Tesla Model S P90D — with Ludicrous Mode enabled — is a 762 horsepower speed demon that can skyrocket from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds.

Not surprisingly, we’ve seen no shortage of videos which pit a tricked out Model S against all sorts of supercars, from a Lamborghini Aventador to a McLaren 650S Spider. We’ve even seen a Tesla Model S go head to head with a Boeing 737 for reasons that still defy explanation.

But what happens when a Tesla goes against itself?

Recently, the enterprising folks over at Drag Times decided to see what happens when a Tesla Model S P90D gets matched up against its brethren, a Tesla Model S P85D.

The result isn’t necessarily surprising as the P90D obviously earns the W, but the gap between the cars is worth paying attention to. Video of the race in its entirety can be viewed below.
