Tesla Roadster

The one and only all-electric supercar; quicker than a General Motors exec scrambling for a bailout. It isn’t the horsepower that’s so impressive — though 248 horsepower in a 2,700-pound car is nothing to sneeze at — it’s the torque. Stomp on the skinny aluminum accelerator and all 276 foot-pounds of it is right there, instantly. You can’t help but grin when you’re behind the car’s beautiful Momo steering wheel.
