Tesla Roadster to Break Track Records with SpaceX Thrusters and Ground Fan

motorsport-total.com (German) —

Tesla has unveiled its new Roadster, promising it will break all track records starting in 2028 with acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in under 1.0 second. The sports car features a ground fan and SpaceX thruster nozzles. The vehicle's underbody fan system is designed to actively suck the car to the road, generating up to 2 g of cornering force. Tesla claims this allows the Roadster to corner so aggressively it appears to defy physics, exceeding current sports car capabilities. Elon Musk stated the Roadster will be Tesla's only manually driven car, as the company focuses on autonomous driving. He promised it will "pulverize every track record that has ever existed."
