Even the most high-performance driving enthusiasts say they want cars that are in line with their values – including environmental responsibility. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Tesla Motors, which produces the world’s only zero-emission supercar, during a Best of the Best promotion in London Heathrow’s Terminal 5.
The Tesla Roadster Sport, which plugs into conventional power outlets throughout the world, can be fully or partially charged from renewable energy, including solar or wind power. But this is no flimsy eco-car: The Roadster’s AC induction motor and single speed gear box create instant torque from 0 rpm. Up to 295 lbs-ft of torque and 288 horsepower are produced as the car smoothly accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, making the critically acclaimed Roadster one of the fastest cars in its class.
The revolutionary Roadster isn’t merely faster than other supercars – it’s also more intuitive and responsive than anything else on the road. The electric powertrain and proprietary, Silicon Valley software enable the Roadster to become an extension of the driver, affording nearly instant traction control on or off the track. The optional custom-tuned suspension allows the driver to adjust the handling to his preference.
The hand-built, carbon fibre Roadster sets the mark for premium electric cars to come — and turns heads thanks to its award-winning design. The monocoque chassis, constructed of resin-bonded and riveted extruded aluminum adds rigidity and strength to the lightweight package. Lean, aerodynamic and optimized for both performance and efficiency, the zero-emissions Roadster can drive 211 miles per charge (based on European Electric Vehicle Combined Cycle).
Roadsters plug into nearly any outlet, anywhere in the world. The Roadster does not require any special equipment and easily charges from outlets in your garage, car park or hotels and resorts throughout Europe and North America. If you can plug in an iPhone or a hair dryer, you can plug in a Roadster.
The best part? Roadster owners never have to go to greasy, dark petrol stations. Simply plug in your car at night, and every morning you will wake to a full charge — for a fraction of the cost of a tank of petrol. Roadsters don’t need oil changes, exhaust system overhauls or many other repairs associated with internal combustion engine cars. Roadster owners also enjoy special tax benefits, free parking and even free charging in dozens of cities around the world, as well as commuter-lane privileges to zip through the densest urban traffic.
The Best of the Best promotion at Heathrow features the Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5, the fourth generation sports car from Tesla. This model features improvements in both design and technology, including a new front fascia, rear diffuser, improved seat comfort and internal finishes, sound dampening and a large touch screen navigation system and a back-up camera. Tesla has refined the cabin to an unusual degree, making the Roadster the stealthiest supercar in the world — so pleasing to the senses that many owners use it as their daily driver. Why not see why more than 1,300 discerning drivers around the world already own and love the Tesla Roadster?
