    Who doesn’t love a petrol vs electric drag race?!
    We’ve got Mat in the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S and he’s lining up against a Tesla Model 3 Performance!
    Now on the face of it, you might think it’ll be an easy walkover for the Tesla. But trust us, this is going to be much closer than you think. You see, the 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the CLA has had a Stage 1 tune, and as a result, it now puts down 490hp & 660Nm of torque!
    As for the Tesla, it’s powered by two electric motors. Combined, they produce exactly the same output as the tuned CLA - 490hp & 660Nm!
    So what do you think - does the Mercedes stand a chance against the instant power output from the Tesla? Well, there’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

      Being able to instantly adjust the torque with electric motors means EVs can have crazy effective traction control systems. Braking is an interesting one, the AMG should really have won that so I'd guess tyres plus we've seen in previous videos that Mat's side of that runway does hold water more so is less grippy. The Tesla is undoubtedly impressive regardless of that though.

      @Alessandro Nesta The CLS is based on the E-Class tho, it is NOT an S-Class. So yes its obviously much better (built quality wise) than the CLA. Ive owned a CLA and i cant reaaaally recommend it. It looks amazing and its pretty fast as of its relatively light weight, however as nice as the Interior looks it is dirt cheap honestly. A lot of crackling plastic noises and the Soundsystem is HORRENDOUS. Looks: 10/10 Built quality: 3/10. Not even close to the level of the E-Class which im currently owning.

    The shit into 7th gear in the fist rolling race, was actually very good. Dual clutch transmitions have one clutch for the even and one for the odd gears, so the shift from any odd to any even gear and vice-versa can be very fast (if the correct gear is pre-selected), if you want to go from even to even or odd to odd the car has to „change“ a gear…

    Braking test in the wet is more about comparing tire models than cars.

    Also just the temperature in the tires makes a huge difference in itself in such a test.

    All I really see here is the difference in which the battery deploys power compared to an engine. As the battery responds faster with more power it will always win the first stretch if not the entire launch 0-62mph. Engines deploy more of their power later on in the power curve and that pretty much explains why the AMG won the rolling race and not the drag race. Both cars are cool though!
