You must love drag races, don't you? Yes, you do but at the same time you'd prefer a gentlemanish approach for this practice, right? In this case, here's today's wacky race, held between a Tesla Model S and a Greenwich Polo Club Horse.
If our memory is right, the world of drag racing has never seen a Tesla Model S confronting a...horse. However, we do remember a commercial from some years ago, where Cristiano Ronaldo raced a Bugatti Veyron, but the French supercar was going in reverse.

In any case, nothing will prepare you for the sight you're about to experience, as a Tesla Model S P85D goes head to head with a polo pony.

The video was posted by Tesla Motors on their Facebook page and, to be honest, the 20-second long dispute has an aristocratic and sophisticated air about it. The horse is touted as "one of Greenwich Polo Club’s fastest ponies" but seriously, even that status won't help it against a Model S P85D.

One could just argue this particular duel is a "one pony against the world" type of challenge, but we'll let it slide since the animal was not put through its pace or abused in any way, as it managed to get the crowd cheering and offering rounds of applause.

If you want to find out the outcome of the race and who won this race between nature and machine, don't come asking us for information. The video is embedded below, so please take your time and watch it because we are not offering any spoilers here.
