They have brought other cars to the ring and they overheat

I wonder if this one is designed to handle a beating that high performance petrol cars can take

The previous cars (roadster) were air cooled motors. The Models S is 100% water cooled.
Doesn't go into a limited mode with heat.

I don't care much what an article says. I also won't dispute that the car could heat soak a few specific components on a brutal environment like the ring.
I recomend anyone to experience the vehicle as much as possible it truly is amazing.
But don't get me wrong, I still love a V8.
