Roadster Sport
March 9th, 2009 by Tom
Tesla has made a even cooler version of their roadster. If you are not familiar with the Tesla Roadster it is an available to the public, all electric car capable of going 0-60 in just under 4 seconds.
The new version called the Roadster Sport is faster due to its upgraded hand wound electric motor and has a sports tuned suspension for better handling. The Roadster sport will accelerate from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. That makes it faster than the $440,000 Porsche Carrera GT and just behind the $670,000 Farrari Enzo which will go from zero to sixty in 3.4 seconds. No bad when you consider that the Roadster sport will cost just $128,500.
Tesla plans to begin production on less expensive vehicles that will use some of the same technology as the Roadster. Currently they are selling the base model Roadster for just under $100,000. The next Tesla vehicle will be a sedan that will be closer to $50,000. Eventually, when the technology has been proven and manufacturing costs go down, they plan to produce cars everyone can afford.

A little off the subject perhaps, but a plea for you to think about the ethics of buying fashion clothing or sunglasses. Do try and think about, for example, the materials your sunglasses or clothes are made from, the conditions of the factories where they’re made and the green credentials of the clothes retailer. Oh, and try to share, rather than throwing away. Thanks!!!!
