Tesla Roadster 2020 modifications

A new electric car, Tesla Roadster of the 2nd generation, was introduced in November 2017. It turned out to be completely different from its predecessor. By its characteristics, it exceeded all conceivable expectations. The company calls a new model, Tesla Roadster 2018-2019, the fastest production car in the world. It started receiving orders for the new Tesla Roadster II, and the price of this electric car is $200,000. For a special modification of the limited Founders Series (only 1000 units are available), buyers will have to pay $250,000. At the same time, the company requests a 100% prepayment for the latter one, while buyers need to prepay $50,000 for a standard roadster. However, clients will receive the first cars only in 2020.

The exterior of Tesla Roadster 2020

The exterior of a new Tesla Roadster looks superbly, like a sports car with a four-seat Targa body (glass roof panels above front seats are dismantled, thus turning a coupe into a roadster). This car is beautiful from any view angle. The front body part with LED headlights is the calmest ones. From the side, the body of this electric roadster looks like a liquid-metal sculpture and demonstrates excitement and dynamics. Designers succeeded the most with front and rear wings that have lush forms. The back of the electric hyper-car demonstrates power, excitement, and many aerodynamic add-ons to guarantee the right distribution of air flow at very high speeds.

Interior

Inside the cabin, everything is harmonious and simple. At the same time, all the necessary devices are designed at the highest level and provide full functionality. In the driver area, there is a steering wheel designed as a helm, and a central place is occupied by a multifunctional console equipped with a widescreen display with touch control. The first row of seats has a sporty shape and structure. The salon has 4 seats: the first row has excellent sports seats, unlike the second row that only a small sofa. Front seats are equipped with armrests, headrests, and multiple buttons to adjusting different options.
