Would you be interested in a fully electric roadster capable of achieving 0-100 kph accelerations in 4 seconds and covering 400 kilometers on a single electric charge? This vehicle already exists. It's called the Tesla Roadster and it's manufactured by Tesla Motors, in San Carlos, California. However, there are two things you need to know. First, the car is worth $92,500 US. Second, it
already sold out for 2007. So, if you really want to buy one, place an order as soon as possible and be patient; you might take delivery of your roadster in 2008 at the earliest.
The best of both worlds
The electric motor of the Tesla generates 242 horsepower (185 kW) at an incredible 13,500 rpm. The little roadster uses a 2-speed transmission: first gear will get you to 100 kph, while second gear allows you to reach a top speed of 210 kph. Considering that this powertrain makes for a 0-100 kph acceleration in 4 seconds, we could say that the car offers the best of both worlds: high performance and zero emissions. A perfect score.
