The second generation of Tesla Roadster was recently unveiled by Elon Musk, and its numbers are incredibly impressive. This four-seater roadster is expected to be the fastest production car in the world. The advancements in electric cars are truly remarkable, and it’s an exciting time to be a car enthusiast, with the rapid innovation and speed that electric cars are bringing to the automotive industry.

Returning to the impressive performance figures, the new Tesla Roadster boasts a mind-boggling acceleration rate of 0 to 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds, breaking the under 2-second time barrier for the first time ever. The car can also accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 4.2 seconds and complete a quarter-mile race in a mere 8.9 seconds. These statistics are truly remarkable and demonstrate the incredible advancements being made in the realm of electric vehicles.

During the unveiling event, Musk boldly claimed, “It’ll be faster than that jet over there.” While he did not disclose the exact top speed, he suggested that it would exceed 250 mph. If you’re a supercar enthusiast, these staggering figures would place the Tesla Roadster among the top few cars on our Top 50 Supercars Listed By Top Speed, and the undisputed leader in the Top 50 Supercars Listed By 0-60 Mph Runs.

Musk said the Roadster had a 200 kwh battery pack and a 620-mile range per charge, or over 1,000 kilometers. Again, another record shattered. Or so Musk claims. The vehicle has three motors, one in the front and two in the rear, all-wheel drive and torque steering.
