Tesla unveils new Roadster that can hover on thrusters and leap over cars
Tesla has unveiled its next-generation Roadster, which can briefly lift off using SpaceX-developed cold-gas thrusters and flip over parked cars. The company said it went from 0 to 60 mph in 0.81 seconds in a live run. Production is targeted for 2028.
Tesla unveiled the long-awaited second-generation Roadster at a demonstration in Texas. During the show, the car drove up a ramp, hovered in mid-air using SpaceX thrusters and flipped over parked Tesla vehicles.
According to the company, the car’s 0-60 mph sprint was clocked at 0.81 seconds in a live measurement at the event. The time has not yet been independently certified.
Three versions
The Roadster will come in three versions: Performance, Thrust and Rocket. Tesla said all versions offer a range of more than 480 kilometers. The top-of-the-line Rocket will be sold by invitation only and will not be approved for public roads.
Reservations were reported at $50,000 for the Performance and $250,000 for the Thrust. Production is targeted to begin in 2028.
