Own a piece of automotive innovation with this 2011 Tesla Roadster
Sport, the car that changed the game for electric vehicles.
Combining cutting-edge technology with sleek, high-performance
design, this Roadster Sport is a collector's dream and a thrill to
drive.
Named after genius inventor Nikola Tesla and founded in California
in 2003, Tesla helped pioneer lithium-ion battery technology and
soon got a hefty investment from entrepreneur Elon Musk. The
batteries were ideal for use in an automobile, but Tesla had no
vehicle in which to put them. So, in order to produce and sell its
first production car, Tesla chose not to start from scratch but to
turn to British carmaker Lotus, specifically for the brilliant
bonded extruded aluminum chassis out of the Elise. Tesla ordered
2500 gliders (completed cars minus powertrain) from Lotus, with
final assembly and distribution handled by Tesla in California.
The first production Roadster was delivered to Elon Musk in
February 2008 and regular production began on March 17 that year.
The first major upgrades were announced for the 2010 model when the
Roadster Sport was introduced with more power and luxury features.
A facelifted 2.5 model was introduced in July 2010.
Major 2010 upgrades included push-button gear selector and carbon
fiber and leather interior. A centrally mounted video screen, which
delivered range, regenerated power level and - bizarrely - how many
barrels of oil you had not consumed. Sway bar and shocks were now
adjustable, while electric motor, heating and air conditioning were
improved. Tesla built the roadster until January 2012, when the
supply of Lotus platforms was exhausted and the company turned its
focus to the Model S sedan.
Car & Driver reported 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a quarter-mile at
13.4 seconds. Tests of 20-50 mph and 50-70 mph acceleration
resulted in 2.3 seconds for each, which matched a 2007
Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series.
Key Features:
• High-Performance Electric Powertrain: With 288 horsepower and
instant torque, this Roadster Sport accelerates from 0-60 mph in
just 3.7 seconds, delivering supercar performance with zero
emissions.
• Iconic Design: The lightweight carbon fiber body, low stance, and
aerodynamic lines make this Roadster Sport as visually stunning as
it is fast.
• Impeccable Handling: With its sport-tuned suspension and low
center of gravity, this Tesla offers exceptional handling and a
driving experience like no other.
• Range and Efficiency: Enjoy up to 245 miles of range on a single
charge, perfect for both daily driving and weekend adventures.
• Premium Interior: The cockpit features leather seats, a
minimalist dashboard, and modern conveniences like air
conditioning, premium audio, and a touchscreen infotainment
system.
• Rare and Collectible: As one of the last Roadster Sports produced
before Tesla shifted focus to the Model S, this car is a rare find
and a must-have for electric vehicle enthusiasts and
collectors.
This 2011 Tesla Roadster Sport is more than just a car-it's a piece
of automotive history, representing the future of driving. Whether
you're a collector or a driving enthusiast, this Roadster offers a
unique blend of cutting-edge technology and classic sports car
thrills.
