With the advent of electric and hybrid vehicles, many car manufacturers are rushing to create their new models using this technology. Tesla one-ups these companies by providing the world with an electric sports car: the 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport pricing start at around $128,500.
Though the 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport may be using an electric engine, the acceleration of the car is very impressive. It could speed up from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 3.7 seconds. The buyer could personalize the vehicle by adjusting the dampers and anti-roll bars to his or her liking. The 375-volt AC induction motor is air cooled and has a horsepower of 248. It reaches its peak at about 5,000 to 8,000 revolutions per minute.
Even with a single-speed transmission, the car has a torque of 276 pounds per feet. The car could reach a top speed of over 200 kilometers per hour or 124 miles per hour. Customization could be provided for both the car paint, using both metallic and premium paints, as well as to the color-coordinated leather seats, of which there are nine available colors.
While riding or driving this unique car, one would feel like riding an aircraft. The smooth ride is complemented by the rushing air of the open cockpit, drowning out what little noise the engine makes. At top speed, the vehicle seems like it is riding the wind itself.
COOL.
i think that the electric engine is a great thing with the tesla and it is the first exotic sports car that is also good for the enviorment.an electric engine can go very fast. they go from 0mp – 80mp in about 5 seconds it is amazing.
i agree with Transporter because this car is amazing and is very enviormental friendly and as a muscle car owner i say this is gunna be the future of the automotive industry
this car are not so good for the world. a honda fcx are more good
a honda fcx are more better
not cool
I work for a car transport company and I have to say these cars are very cool for two reasons. First I think it is amazing that they get that much speed out of an electric engine. I haven’t been able to drive this car faster than 2mph as we put it onto the trailer, but it is surprising when you hear it start because you expect a Lotus type engine noise and you get next to nothing. The second thing is that the owners all seem very excited to own one of the first exotic sports cars that are also good for the environment. I just thought I would give my 2 cents on the car.
