Is This The Ultimate Green Dream car?

A few weeks ago the Tesla Roadster was featured at the Green Car Guide
Of course nothing is the 'ultimate'.Something else always comes along to takes its place.
But the Tesla is worthy of a look. Green and sexy as I've said before may seem to many to be contradictory terms to say of any car. This electric car is mighty cool.

  • It has a top speed of over 130 mph with 0-60 in 4 seconds
  • Has a range of 250 miles on a single charge of its lithium ion battery pack
  • Works with only two forward gears and no clutch
  • Can be modified to run on solar power!
  • Only needs its first service at 100,000 miles, for breaks and tyres
There are perhaps some drawbacks with this current model.Though being built in the UK, it will be available in late 2007, but only in the US. Also, the price tag is expected to be in the region of $100,000. The next generation of Tesla is likely to be more of family saloon. The development of these groundbreaking cars is worth following. I shall be doing just that.
In the meantime,I shall also be looking at the many other emerging environmentally-friendly cars which are also impressive, currently available in the UK, and much better suited to my pocket!
