The Beast:

The all-electric Tesla Roadster is already a darling of the masses. The wonderful car has been hailed for its supreme performance and its amazing clean drive. But what is it really to drive the Roadster? Many have placed their orders and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their own Roadster. So we decided to give a little preview to them and all of you who want to get closer to the Roadster. The VP 11 is a test vehicle at Tesla and its test drive shows you why the car is rated so highly by so many motorheads.

The Machine:

The impact of Lotus is pretty clear on the Tesla Roadster design as the car makers have taken plenty of assistance from the British team. The Roadster seems to it from 0 to 60 in a flash and all that is done with absolute silence. The instant acceleration and the sudden braking are kept under control by a very efficient traction control system. The car is a good 2700 pounds and you can feel the extra weight as you drive it around. The best part of the drive though is its emission free ride and the new tranny system that Tesla has worked on.

The Thrill:

Despite its very high end price of $ 109,000, people are still in queue for the Tesla Roadster. The company has delivered 35 cars till now and wish to step up their production from 4 to 10 cars each week. They are building a new $250 million facility and also hiring people to fasten up the pace. So, if you cannot own a Tesla then go and drop-in your resume. That will help you get close to the Roadster one way or another!
