The Tesla Motors Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode is the third fastest accelerating production auto ever produced, according to the company, with a 0-60 miles per hour time of 2.5 seconds using max power based on the Motor Trend benchmark.

On Tuesday, Tesla Motors said that it is coming up with a new version of its Model S all-electric sedan that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just two-and-a-half seconds. “Model X is also a pure electric SUV and can seat up to seven adults”.

TSLA has launched new versions of Model S and Model X with 100 kWh batteries.

The company also announced you can buy a larger battery pack for the vehicle to increase its range to more than 300 miles between charges.

The Model X is already the quickest SUV ever, Tesla said.

Ferrari and Porsche take notice – Tesla’s new electric auto might outlap you soon.

With the new battery pack, the Silicon Valley automaker said that the driving range of the vehicles would also increase.

If you’ve already ordered a P90D Ludicrous but have not taken delivery, you can upgrade to the 100 kWh battery for $10,000 more. Existing owners can upgrade by paying $20,000 because the old pack would require recycling.

While the Model S P100D “is obviously an expensive vehicle”, the company said in a statement Tuesday, “we want to emphasize that every sale helps pay for the smaller and much more affordable Tesla Model 3 that is in development”. Elon Musk the CEO at Tesla said the announcement of the two new vehicles would send a message out to the public that the future is sustainable transport.
