The Tesla Model S of the Electric GT will have 585 CV

The powertrain of the Tesla Model S P100D in the Electric GT Championship will not be altered compared to the road version.

The technical specifications of the Tesla Model S that will compete in the EGT (Electric GT) championship were revealed at the Autosport International show, confirming it will produce 585 CV of power and 734 Nm of torque. This model, based on the Tesla Model S P1000D and prepared by EGT Engineering, can reach a top speed of 250 km/h.

The Tesla Model S P100D in the Electric GT features a completely modified interior compared to the road version: among other elements, it incorporates a roll cage. The powertrain remains unchanged from the road model, which means the performance improvements come from weight reduction. This competition-prepared model features racing suspension and modified steering, while the brake cooling has been improved to cope with the extra stresses of racing. The bodywork has also undergone considerable modifications.

The championship will feature 20 drivers and 10 teams competing in seven rounds across Europe: Nürburgring in Germany, Circuit de Catalunya, Mugello in Italy, Brands Hatch in the United Kingdom, Zandvoort in the Netherlands, Estoril in Portugal and Paul Ricard in France.

Race weekends will consist of a 20-minute practice session, 30 minutes of qualifying and two 60 km races. The organisers of the Electric GT championship state that each race will be a “festival of technology and innovation for sustainability”. The events will be broadcast on YouTube, Twitch and Periscope.
