The makers of electric Elise - a.k.a. Tesla Roadster have decided to make a four-seat saloon and update the roadster very soon. The rare wheel drive made up of lightweight steel will go upfront with the batteries and will be introduced globally for sale with 10,000 to 20,000 units turned out annually.

The new battery technology is good to offer similar output to the 185kW Roadster with a 200-mile range. The company is looking forward to introduce 3 versions with varied ranges and price tags. The entry-level car with a 200-mile range will cost £30,000. The second version will be a luxury variant car with more powerful batteries offering a range of 300 mile at a price of £40,000 and the top of the order will be a £55,000 version of the roadster which will hit the market by 2010.
