Tesla Model S vs Audi RS7 vs Alpina XD3: video track battle

Alpina vs Tesla vs Audi

This is one of the more eclectic track battles we've done. We've lined up the diesel Alpina XD3 Biturbo, the petrol Audi RS7 Sportback and the all-electric Tesla Model S P85D - check out the video above to see how each car fared.

This test was done from a standing start- it's a test of both acceleration and handling on a test track.

All three cars are heavy and certainly not focused on track driving, but they are also incredibly powerful - and as road tester Steve Sutcliffe found out, surprisingly good in the corners as well.

The Tesla Model S was a particular surprise on the day, as with its instant power delivery (thanks to the electric motor) it is by far the fastest-accelerating car of the three. You wouldn't know it, though, as it does the sprint in complete silence.

It's hard to explain how crazy the acceleration is in the Tesla is - but you can watch the video to find out just how it did when it came up against the Alpina and Audi in the corners as well as down the straights.
