Tesla Model X Vs. Suzuki Superbike Stoplight Race Ends Abruptly

In fact, that one race against an Alfa Romeo 4C where the electric SUV was towing a trailer with another 4C on top is all you need to gain a pretty good grasp of the Model X's capabilities. Granted, the Alfa Romeo 4C is neither the quickest nor the heaviest sports car, but try that same trick with any other SUV and see where it gets you. Come to think of it, maybe this V8-powered Range Rover could give it a go.

But back to the Model X and its fortunate encounter with the Suzuki GSX-R750 superbike just as the pair was pulling at a stoplight. The Tesla owner says he had just installed the performance summer tires on his electric crossover, meaning the timing for an impromptu race couldn't be more right. As for the bike rider, well, they're probably ready for a race at any time.

Or maybe not. The Tesla driver says they both nodded at each other to signal it was on and then proceeded to wait for the light to turn green. When that moment came, it seems like the Suzuki rider hesitated a little. We've already established the Model X is surprisingly adept at drag racing for a vehicle its size, which means it was all it needed to pull away.

At one point, you can see the bike's front wheel lift off slightly as the man probably thought about trying to make up for the last ground but in the end, he decided to drop it. Both literally and figuratively. That meant the Model X came out the winner out of a race that, frankly, never was. But it'll still make for excellent party talk for anyone who wasn't there or hasn't seen the footage.
