2008 will bring a very exciting electric vehicle from Tesla Motors. Their new Tesla Roadster sports a Lotus-derived chassis and potent 185kw electric motor (horsepower equivalent - about 248 bhp),
Performance wise it's admirable... corner carving, quick acceleration (0-60 mph in only four seconds).
It is loaded with extras. How about dual airbags, front and rear crumple zones and fortified side impact protection are standard safety items; inside finds air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD player with iPod connector and heated seats. And Tesla says the lithium-ion battery pack will provide a driving range of 250 miles on a full "tank."
What does a spirited yet environmentally sensitive car cost you ask? Try around $92,000 base sticker. You better hurry as the 2007 model's production sold in the blink of an eye. |
