There are several fast electric cars out there, which are breaking all kinds of records, including at Goodwood itself.

The announcement coincides with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a yearly hillclimb race that has become one of the world’s largest assemblies of classic and high-end cars. And its specs look mighty familiar – not too far off from the original Tesla Roadster from 2008. The absence of a visible shutline at the front edge of the hood leads us to believe that there won't be a frunk and that all your belongings must be stored in the rear trunk or on the back seats.Caterham, the British builder of lightweight sportscars, has revealed a new electric concept car, the “Project V,” slated for 2026. Information about the Roadster's frunk is unknown - or if it will even have one at all. The Tesla Roadster's cargo space is concealed beneath a long rear hatch, although it doesn't look like there'll be much space in there if the roof is stowed. More sporty and high-tech than plush, we look forward to seeing if the Roadster's interior quality has taken a step up from other Teslas. Tesla's usual white and black interior looks like it will be on the menu, and a swathe of carbon fiber seems to cover the dashboard. This will be a 2+2 seater in the same vein as the Porsche 911. The Tesla Roadster's front seats are sporty buckets that appear comfortable and supportive, but the second-row pews are far smaller and will likely only be suitable for kids. There is also no traditional gauge cluster, and the steering wheel is the company's contentious yoke design. The one main difference inside compared to other Teslas is that there is a floating, lengthened touchscreen display in the center. While the production model might be different, the dashboard we've seen is nothing more than a horizontal slab without anything on it. The Tesla Roadster's interior shares a button-free, rather stark approach with other models in the brand's range. For something that can match those claims, you'd have to look towards the $2,400,000 Rimac Nevera. None of these cars are nearly as quick as the Tesla, though. Another hybrid supercar in the form of the 671-hp McLaren Artura could sway you away from the Tesla. Even cheaper is the wonderful Audi RS e-tron GT, but that's a more luxurious GT. At around $30,000 less, the Acura NSX Type S hybrid is an interesting alternative but is on its way out. For similar money, there are a few incredibly powerful cars with excellent mpg (or MPGe) ratings.
#TESLA ROADSTER SERIES#
At the time of writing, Tesla did not have a base price published on its website, but previous indications suggest that the Tesla Roadster will start at a $200,000 MSRP for the base model and go up to $250,000 for a limited Founders Series model.Įlectric sports cars are rare, so pinning down rivals for the 2024 Roadster in the USA is a challenge.

Merely reserving one of these cars will cost you $50,000. The 2024 Tesla Roadster's price is as eye-opening as its performance.
