US-based Tesla abruptly unveiled its next-generation 'Roadster' on the 16th (local time) at the SpaceX rocket test development center located in McGregor, Texas. The newly revealed Roadster features unprecedented performance incorporating rocket technology and an advanced aerodynamic system, opening a new horizon for high-performance electric vehicles.
The new Roadster is composed of three LINEups. First, the two-seater 'Performance,' which is capable of public road driving, generates a massive downforce of up to 4,709 kg through active aerodynamics and a multi-mode suction system, delivering outstanding performance both on and off the circuit. The two-seater race Yongin 'Thrust' is a limited-edition model that combines cold gas thrusters at the rear of the vehicle to achieve acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in under one second. The single-seater 'Rocket' operates as a fully autonomous system, supporting forward and upward acceleration as well as lateral rotational movement through nozzles arranged around the vehicle.
The most eye-catching features were the aerial maneuvers and suction driving demonstrated during the demo drive. Utilizing a multi-mode fan and ground effect sealing system on the underside of the body, the new Roadster firmly pins the chassis to the road surface even from a standstill, and is capable of driving even when completely inverted in reverse. Additionally, a total of 10 cold gas thruster nozzles linked to ultra-high-pressure air tanks generate precise thrust in under one second, enabling attitude control during descent and jump driving.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stated at the event, "You will see what happens when the world's best car company and rocket company collaborate," adding, "In the long term, the Roadster will be the only manually driven vehicle produced by Tesla."
