Tesla Roadster acceleration: New model can do 0-100 km/h in 1.1 seconds.

After putting electric vehicles in the mainstream, Tesla will soon launch the all-new second-generation Roadster. The first generation of the vehicle was the first car that the Elon Musk-owned company launched in 2008. Over the years, his company has shown that electric vehicles too can be fast and practical to drive.

Rumours were doing the rounds that the all-new Roadster could notch 0-60 mph, or 0-100 kmph, in just 1.9 seconds. Now, a Twitter user has revealed a prototype Roadster on display at Petersen Automotive Museum. The picture shows a plaque that says the upcoming model with the SpaceX package would be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.1 seconds. The plaque says this unprecedented acceleration time will be achieved through the cold air rocket thrusters.
