Good Luck.
new, upgraded version of electric car from Tesla Motors is capable of going from 0 to 100kph in just 2.8 seconds. original 691 horsepower Tesla Model S P85D was already incredibly fast. It even had function called Insane Mode, which meant car could get from 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds. upgrade is called Ludicrous Mode and will take horsepower up to 762, thus providing extra power to get to 100kph in less than three seconds. This is close to acceleration of Porsche 911 Turbo S supercar. That kind of horsepower means car can accelerate at force of 1.1G. This means acceleration will make the driver feel that he or she is going faster than the speed of falling out of airplane.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained that new improvement in acceleration came from research into an advanced battery. Engineers were working on new power train for its cars. power rain is system that delivers the power from the engine to wheels. The engineers managed to increase battery power by ten per cent, resulting in extra acceleration. Tesla said: "Unlike gasoline internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts, Tesla electric motors have only one moving piece: rotor. As result, Model S acceleration is instantaneous, silent and smooth." The Tesla S P85D car is priced at $87,500 as basic model; "ludicrous" upgrade will be an extra $13,000.
