Friends: 0 | Re: Top Gear races Tesla Roadster vs Lotus Elise The link to that P50 video was posted here on PC a long time ago. Don't remember who posted it. But I figured it was worth posting again. Note the great cloud of smoke the car leaves behind. I'm guessing they had some trouble convincing the BBC to let them drive it inside the building, and there were probably a lot of windows opened pretty quick. I love the way he drives it into the elevator, and then has to ask for a push to back it out 'cuz there's no reverse gear. |
