Electric Sport Cars


Electric Sport Cars

This could be the future of electric cars.

The car is a Tesla Roadster, and it looks remarkably like a Lotus -- no surprise, because the Tesla is built on the Lotus assembly line in England. The surprise, though, is how much it is also like a small Ferrari and how utterly quiet it is.

We tend to associate sports cars with finely tuned, sexy exhaust-noise gasoline engines.

The Tesla is nothing like that. It is quiet and quick. The Tesla people say it will do zero to 60 mph in four seconds and will top out at 130 mph. And if its creators have their way, it will be a permanent niche in the eclectic and rarely successful field of electric-powered cars.
