Tesla's very first car is back. It's red. It's fast. And it will cost you upward of $200,000.
The Roadster, the electric sports car that put the automaker on the map, made a surprising appearance at Tesla's semi-truck event late Thursday. The next-generation Roadster is Tesla's first new sports car since it discontinued the original in 2012, and marks the company's bid to remain competitive across several categories in the world of electric vehicles that it helped reshape.
The updated Roadster will achieve world record speeds, Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said during the event in Los Angeles. The base model can travel from a dead stop to 60 miles per hour in less than two seconds, making it the fastest consumer car on the planet, and the first to break the two-second mark, Musk said. He declined to give the Roadster's top speed but said it would surpass 250 mph.
