Introducing the new 2009 Tesla Roadster. It is one of the few 100% electric vehicles around and is capable of achieving a top speed of 125 mph. Incredibly, for an all electric vehicle it has awesome acceleration, capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. It can travel distances of 227 miles on a full charge. However, all this luxury comes at a steep price with a base price of $109,000.



The manufacturer offers several factory options ranging from a premium audio package to custom exterior paint to variations in the power connector. Under the hood, the Roadster is equipped with a 3-phase, 4-pole electric motor, 248hp peak (185kW), redline 13,000 rpm, regenerative "engine braking". The battery pack is a custom microprocessor-controlled lithium-ion battery pack, with useful life in excess of 100,000 miles. For an all electric, this vehicle doesn't disappoint and like the Honda FCX Clarity (see below) it possesses an exterior sexiness not seen with other vehicles in its class.
