Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X 100d and P100D Is a Silent Drag Race

This car is a match for the Model X, though not necessarily in the power department. The real advantage is that on a full talk of electricity, it can take on a long journey without any problems.

That's not to say that it's slow, but the drag race video below proves there's still a gap between Jaguar and Tesla's best. The I-Pace has 400 horsepower and can do 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. Of the two Teslas, its closest rival is going to be the 100d, which costs noticeably more and boasts 525 horsepower.

In the standard drag race, the I-Pace actually wins against the 100D. However, both models get a spanking from the P100D. That letter turns this crossover into a supercar killer, so we're not surprised to see it humiliating the other two.

Usually, when you have a Tesla drag race, it's lined up against a fast German V8 model that sounds fantastic. However, this race is almost entirely silent. Let that sink in for a moment: there is another car that can do the same things a Tesla can!

Fast or not, the I-Pace is probably going to sell better in most European countries, mainly the UK. It's better looking and has a more manageable shape while the Model X was designed for big American highways.

The P100D managed the standing quarter mile in 11.4 seconds while the I-Pace did it in 12.8 seconds. And if that makes it sound slow, know that it's a match for the 1/4 mile time of a BMW M4 or a Rolls-Royce Wraith. So it's not bad at all.

We'll let you find out what happens in the rolling race and brake test, as we feel those aren't as important.
