Tesla has made a name for itself as an electric carmaker that doesn't compromise on speed.

The Model S with a 100 kWh battery can accelerate to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds - faster than the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918 Spyder.

We're talking crazy-quick 0-60 mph times here and top speeds - the dynamic duo by which all high-performance cars are judged.
