This Jet-Powered Model S Is Unlike Anything You've Seen Or Heard Before - gallery

Now most modern EVs already offer some pretty staggering acceleration of the bat, but it just enough for some folks out there

Take, for instance, Matt Mikka, who runs his YouTube Channel, Warped Perception. He decided to mount not one, but three miniature jet engines to the read of his P85 Model S

There's obviously no jet-powered Tesla out there, although Elon has said that the upcoming Roadster might feature rockets, Matt had to hence fabricate the parts himself at his shop

Now an EV powered by any fossil fuel ought to be wrong, but this one was done in the interest of science and entertainment of course

The frame that was going to support the engines was reinforced from underneath the vehicle

A new panel now with controls for the jet engines now lives between the front seats

Although this bizarre concept seems pretty straight forward on paper

Mounting the engines at the ideal position behind the vehicle proved to be quite tricky and Matt had to get it absolutely spot on

This Tesla build is already starting to look epic, even sitting still in the shop

With that, there was just one thing left to do, take it out on the open road, of course

With that, Matt hit the highway and straight into rush hour L.A.

While the car made it to the highway on EV power initially, Matt switched over to Jet power

After he found an off-ramp which wasn't as busy, Matt managed to hit 60 mph, purely on jet-power, despite one of the engines malfunctioning

He also had installed a fuel gauge to keep tabs on the consumption. Because these jets, they're pretty thirsty

Matt had to turn off the freeway for a quick pitstop. It's probably one of the only times you'll see a Model S at the pumps

Pit stop is done, it was time to hit the road again. Destination?

A 1.5 mile abandoned stretch of road, where Matt could put his P85 to the ultimate test. The surface was damp though

Now the standard car does 0-60 mph in 4.38 seconds, but with the addition of jet power, Matt managed to bring that number down to 3.32 seconds
