Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche are going to have a hell of a fight on their hands if the brand spankin’ new Tesla has a word in it.
The Tesla, which can rip from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, is a completely ELECTRIC car. So much for the mythology of green cars not being able to go fast or compete with the muscles of the combustion engine powerhouses.
Ferrari and Lamborghini most certainly will need to come up with something to come to terms with this latest green addition, even if the Tesla is just another in a long line of electric cars that can burn rubber. It certainly isn’t the first fast green car, of course, as Tom Swift was ripping it up in electric cars some sixty years ago.
If Tesla wants to market their green machine as the first and finest, more power to ‘em. I just hope the buying public knows that the power behind your favourite car at the Lamborghini dealer or the Ferrari lot is available with none of the fuss and muss of the internal combustion engine. Not only are electric cars cleaner, they’re also quicker when it comes to reaching those speeds. While the combustion engines require a lot of going-through-the-motions to reach their apex, the electric car is a start-and-go masterpiece.
So get ready, Lamborghini. Tighten your braces, Porsche. And prepare yourselves, Ferrari. Tesla’s here.
