Tesla Model S Outperforms Aston Martin

Acceleration isn't really an important strength of the Aston's, and Tesla gets applauded for its acceleration all the time. So which is the one that we expect to do worse?

I wouldn't buy a sports or GT car without acceleration being it's "strength"...

Then you probably wouldn't be interested in an Aston Martin. If acceleration is your top priority, you can always buy an STI for a third as much, boost the snot out of it, and leave the Rapide in your dust.

The Rapide is no slouch, to be sure, but acceleration falls somewhere in the middle of a larger spectrum of goals for that car.

So you can race between the lights? There is a lot more to it than that.
