FERRARI DENIES THAT THE TESLA MODEL S may be a SUPERCAR
The Tesla Model S P100D can go from 0-60 mph during a mind-boggling 2.3 seconds. This has led to declarations that this all-electric four-door is secretly a supercar. Ferrari isn't having anything of it.

EXOTIC CARS

It became clear last week that Ferrari CEO Marchionne doesn't think Tesla has created a true supercar (even though Tesla did unveil a replacement Roadster last November that, when built, are going to be the fastest thing on the road, with a predicted 0-60 time of 1.9 seconds and styling that's anything but stodgy).

He reiterated his "Ferrari are going to be first" comment, within the process taking an attempt at the handling characteristic of electrical vehicles. they are not great. The P100D is stunning during a line, but that creates it more of an electrical muscle car than a flashy European go-around-corners demon, like, say, a Ferrari 458 Italia.

Marchionne took a shot:

He also took an attempt at Tesla, citing an earlier 0-60 time.

supercars," he said."Well, I might challenge anybody who's driven an electric car to undertake and drive at an equivalent way we drive a Ferrari and you’d recognize immediately that the handling characteristics of the car are totally different. So whenever Ferrari will express itself during a fully electric vehicle, it'll do so by ensuring that both sound and handling are reflective of Ferrari's heritage."
Marchionne features a point. We've driven the Model S in Ludicrous Mode, and while it's certainly fast, we've also driven the Ferrari 488, and there is no reasonable comparison. you'll take a stock 488, rig it up for racing, and run it within the 24 Hours of Le Mans. you'll take a Model S to the drag strip.

except, for now, Ferrari thinks they need some work to try to — and is convinced that its electric supercars, should they ever exist, will still be not just Ferrari-good, but Ferrari-better.
