“When we showed the Roadster, it was only the base trim. In addition, an optional SpaceX package will be available for the car. It will be truly impressive. It is fundamentally important for us to demonstrate with the Roadster that an electric car can surpass a car with an internal combustion engine in all parameters,” noted Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
At the same time, the company head did not disclose detailed technical data. The base version of the Tesla Roadster is equipped with three electric motors, which allows it to reach 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) in just 1.9 seconds. The top speed of the car reaches 400 km/h. The Roadster's powertrain delivers 10,000 Nm of torque — sixteen times more than the Lamborghini Huracan.
