The boys and girls at Tesla have been plinking away on a new variant of the company’s Roadster for awhile now. What’d they come up with? A “sport” variant. Thanks to 284 horsepower (40 over stock) and super-sticky Yokohama A048 tires, the car’s 0-60 time gets clipped by .2 seconds, bringing the grand total to just 3.7. That’s quick, Fiends. Of course, those .2 seconds come at a premium of almost $20,000 over the base car at $109,000. Worth it? I’ll let you be judge and jury on that one. Oh, Tesla’s throwing in some black rims to sweeten the deal. [Source: Tesla]
