Extra juice for flagship Tesla Roadster
Here’s an electric sports car that’s really charged up! This is Tesla’s new performance flagship, the Roadster Sport.
It sprints from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, two- tenths of a second faster than the standard car. The extra pace comes from a hand-built electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Other tweaks include sticky tyres, adjustable dampers and new anti-roll bars.
Tesla claims it has 1,100 people on the waiting list for a Roadster. If they want to upgrade to the Sport version, they’ll need to stump up an extra £10,000, taking the price to more than £100,000.
