0 to 60mph in 1 second, top speed of 400km/h: can Tesla Roadster beat traditional sports cars?

AshleyAug 20, 2024, 09:51 AM

Recently, real car photos of Tesla's new-generation Roadster were exposed on social media, attracting widespread attention. Tesla CEO Musk has stated that this model will officially go into production next year. Musk said "You can expect some applications of rocket technology", and even boasted that it's not even really a car. He also revealed that the new Roadster will adopt a wire-controlled Yoke steering wheel, which is similar to the control method of an airplane or modern jet airliner.

It is understood that Tesla's second-generation Roadster sports car was launched at the end of 2017, originally scheduled for release in 2020, but unexpectedly delayed. In 2021, Musk postponed the launch of the Roadster due to global supply chain bottlenecks.

The second-generation Roadster sports car adopts four-wheel drive with a wheel torque of up to 10,000N·m, a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) speed of less than 1 second, a top speed of over 400+ km/h, and a cruising range of 1000km.
