However, when it comes to top speed, the Model X Ludicrous mode can only go as high as 155 mph to the F340’s 196 mph.
Although it is obvious that the race car beats the SUV, the Model X seems to have held its own far too longer than motoring enthusiasts are accustomed to seeing, especially against a bonafide sports car.
The Model X has been developed on the Model S platform and as an SUV, it is capable of seating up to seven passengers including the driver. The vehicle was initially scheduled for production by the end of 2013 but was deferred as Tesla wanted to focus on selling more than 20,000 units of its Model S released that year.
Production of the Model X was pushed back from late 2014 to early 2015. Since then, several prototypes of the Model X have been spotted undergoing testing in California.
The Model X will be the third fully-electric vehicle from Tesla following the Lotus Elise-based Roadster it launched in 2008 and the Model S it unveiled in 2012.
Apparently, production of the Tesla Model X has hit a roadblock as the electric carmaker is said to be having problems with some of its suppliers who shall provide necessary parts for the crossover vehicle.
