Elon Musk Promised a surprise during the Tesla Semi univeiling event,and boy did he deliver: the return of the Roadster.But it's no repeat performance.The stunning four- seater roadster boasts jaw-dropping numbers, that if they measure up the Musk's claims,w ill make it the world's fastest production car. In his remarks, Musk described it as a"smackdown" to the fossil fuel-addicted auto industry.
Will likely cause porch Porsche and Ferrari to break a sweat
The finale to his semi- truck reveal was all about driving home that point. As the opening guiter licks of the Beastie Boy's "Sabotage" blasted over loud speaker,sa beam of red Zipped across the parking lot. The secund-
grneration Tesla Roadster came to an abrupt halt, and a grinning Elon Musk came back on the mic to introduce his latest baby, which likely cause Porsche and Ferrari to break sweat.
Musk Claimed The Base Model Will do 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds. if true, that would make it the first time a production vehicle cracked the two-secound threshold. He also said the new Roadster would climb from 0 to 100 mph in 4.2 seconds, and will clear the quarter mile in 8.9 seconds )in case the fat & Furious drag race franchise comes calling ).
Musk Said
"he would confirm the top speed, but hinted that it was "above 250 mph " By comparison, the Agera RS by Sweden's Koenigsegg currently
As fans Gasped, Musk asid the Roasdster had a 200kWh battery pack and a 620-mile range per charge, or over 1,000 kilometer. again, another record shattered - or so musk claims. Imagine driving from Los Angeles to San Fransisco and back, without recharging, Muck teased,
The vehicle has three motors (one is the front and two in the rear),all -wheel drive, and torque steering.
The design is clear strike against the sport car industry. there are possible cues from all the majors players, including a McLaren P1 cockpit, an Acura NSK exterior, Bugatti Chiro headlight, a Targa-like roof, and a rear reminiscent of an Aston Martin DB10.
"The point of doing this is to give a hardcore smackdown to gasoline cars,"
Musk said . Driving any other turbo-charged sports car, is going to feel like a stream engine with a side of quiche.
But there is a wait: Musk said production " isn't scheduled to start untill 2020, and production deadlines at Tesla have traditionally been optimistic. you can reserve one now for $50,000 towards the $200,000 base price - or get one of the first 1,000 founders series models with more performance and an asking price of $250,000 that has to be paid now.
Thanks
