Tesla Roadster vs. BMW electric - street race.wmv

Tesla Roadster owned by German electric company RWE visited Zagreb, Croatia on its 2010. European Tour. Mate Rimac, young Croatian inventor challenged Tesla Roadster with his BMW converted into VST electric race car. Drag race happened on the streets of Zagreb (please do not try this on your streets, it was done with Croatian police help).
Tesla Roadster 0-60 3,9 sec, BMW VST electric 0-60 maybe 3,4 sec or less.
Go electric! :)))

@ncheels015 Thank you for your comment. As CroDriver said: "The thing is that the BMW is more than twice the power of the Tesla Roadster." With or without drag radials Tesla had no chance...but it was exciting spontaneous race between the two...:)

@TheBishopSSR; thank you for your comment, this converted BMW has better batteries than Tesla with almost the same range (BMW is heavier) and it has been created to kick ass to other petrol cars on drag races. Tesla is buld as commuter car in very nice sporty package so no wander that BMW was faster. Also in this race Tesla's batteries were almost empty and BMW was freshly charged and that really matters in drag race. Also would be interesting to see race between this BMW and Tesla Sport .

This was well known that they will race so Tesla should recharge before. One man had beated the company :)

@mptrax Well, we are one step ahead :P

[mptrax]

Guys do it on a real track ! We want more data from both cars !

@jjunfer No need to excuse yourself for your "bad" English, the main thing is that Croatia is producing high quality extremely well designed elctric cars that stand up to ANY other electric car on the market today. Actually the Croatian produced cars have the longest range of any electric cars and by far the fastest charging times, made possible by batteries developed by Croatian engineers. And the newest Concept One car is a real looker too, besides being the fastest of them all :) Samo naprid!
