Flying Tesla Roadster with SpaceX rocket boosters unveiled
Mass production scheduled for 2028
Tesla officially unveiled the new Roadster, accompanying the announcement with a stunt show featuring vertical accelerations, acrobatic jumps, and aerial tricks.
The new model accelerates to 97 km/h in an incredible 0.81 seconds. Its appearance has changed dramatically compared to the 2017 model: sleek shapes have been replaced by aggressive angles, combining the aesthetics of the Cybertruck and Lamborghini Reventón.
The equipment includes a fully electronic control system ("by-wire"), an active spoiler, powerful underbody fans (generating up to 2 g of downforce even when stationary), and 10 SpaceX rocket boosters. Operating on compressed air from two 600-liter tanks, these nozzles provide the car with controllability even in flight.
