The Tesla Roadster sticks to the road, flies, and does side jumps [video]. The Ferrari Luce is a shame, sadness, and regret next to it.

The Tesla Roadster is no longer the car that attracts attention with its bulky design and 1,000 kilometers of range. The new Tesla Roadster is a “Cyber-style” vehicle that can stick so tightly to the road it can even hang upside down while stationary. It can also leap over multiple cars without a ramp and perform a barrel roll in the air, or do a sideways somersault right from a stop. Range? “Over 480 kilometers,” but that probably isn’t particularly important.

First, the demos, because they’re the most important:

Our assumptions were correct—that the illustration on the invitation needs to be viewed upside down to see the car in its normal position. The new Tesla is a two-seater roadster with a body design visually inspired by the Cybertruck, featuring sharp and futuristic lines. If Ferrari had something to showcase in the electric vehicle segment, it would create something like this:

Models and prices

The new Tesla Roadster will be available in three versions: Performance, Thrust, and Rocket. The Performance variant is designed for road use, featuring two seats, an active spoiler system, and a ground-effect mechanism powered by fans similar to the McMurtry Spéirling. This will create the illusion of defying the laws of physics, allowing its driver to navigate corners at speeds that no other car in the world can match. The downforce is said to be “comparable to that in Formula 1,” with a 0-97 km/h acceleration time of 1.6 seconds. The actual 0-100 km/h time according to European standards is around 1.8–1.9 seconds [according to Elektrowozu’s estimates].

Ventilators at the back of the car will draw air under it

The Thrust version is designed for racing and will be produced in a limited number of units. Additional exhaust nozzles at the rear will enable it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in “under 0.9 seconds,” resulting in a very similar figure in Europe, as with jet propulsion, the reduction in “wheel spin” won’t have much impact.

The final version of the Rocket, the one we saw in presentations, will have only one seat and additional jet nozzles on the body. It should accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h in 0.59 seconds, with a top speed rated at over 370 km/h. It won’t have road homologation but is expected to offer a range of over 480 kilometers. Achieving a greater range won’t be easy, as creating a jet mechanism that works in Earth’s atmosphere has filled every available space in the car’s body with components and carbon fiber enclosures.

Prices? Booking requires a payment of $5,000 upfront and $45,000 within the next ten days. It grants access to the Performance edition, but the final purchase cost is unknown. The “upgrades” in the form of Thrust and Rocket variants have also not been priced. The car is expected to go into production “around 2028,” meaning at least eight years after the original plans. The new Tesla Roadster is set to be Tesla’s last fully driverless car. Website HERE.
