There are no secrets about Tesla’s Roadster model. You know, that car spinning around in space. The last information about the second Roadster model was presented back in 2017. Subsequently, the car occasionally made headlines with different claims. Today, however, it’s back with a completely different claim. Here are the details about Tesla Roadster…
It will go from 0 to 100 in 1 second! Here’s the Tesla Roadster
The second generation of Tesla Roadster was first introduced in November 2017. At that time, it broke speed records, going from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 1.9 seconds. However, during those dates, at the launch event or simply the presentation since the car was not released for sale, Elon Musk provided guests with the opportunity to test drive the car.
Seven years have passed since then, and the car occasionally made headlines. These were mainly small news pieces that proved the car was still in the “development” stage. However, last night, Elon Musk made new posts on Twitter (X) platform. According to his posts, the car is now ready. Here are those posts and more details…
Musk announced radical design decisions regarding the Roadster last night. Then there is a very ambitious statement. “It will be a unique car, if you can call it a car” is the special slogan chosen for Tesla Roadster. As for the technical details of the vehicle, they were entered as users asked questions, actually.
A Twitter user named Sawyer Merritt asked how long it would take for the car to reach 0-100 km/h. Elon Musk’s official account responded with “0-60 MPH<1 sec”. This is quite insane because while the car shown at the presentation had a 0-100 km/h figure of 1.9 seconds, now values below 1 second are being mentioned.
Here we need to make a small comparison. Because 1 second is a very big claim. Therefore, let’s first compare with the fastest internal combustion engine cars, and then with the fastest electric cars. In the internal combustion section, the world’s fastest car is currently the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, with a coefficient of friction of 0.278, a 5.0-liter V8 1,600 Hp engine.
The car can exceed 300 MPH with its 1600 Hp engine and nearly perfect aerodynamic design. The time it takes for the car to go from 0 to 100 is 2.5 seconds. When it comes to internal combustion engines, getting below 1 second is impossible, at least for now, due to factors such as take-off and transmission.
In the world of electric cars, we are met with the McMurtry Speirling. With a maximum speed of 240 kilometers, the car is actually a racing car. The single-seater car also broke the hill climb race record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car reaches 0-100 km/h in 1.5 seconds.
Details such as the presentation date of the car were not mentioned. New information about the subject will continue to emerge. If you want to be the first to read the news, you can follow ShiftDelete.Net’s social media accounts and enable notifications!
