    Tesla Roadster To Hit 60 MPH in 1.1 Seconds With ‘SpaceX Package’

    The second-generation Tesla Roadster has been hit with numerous delays and although the car is still very much on, it is not on the top of Elon’s priority list right now.

    In 2018, Musk announced that the new Roadster would be offered with an optional SpaceX Package consisting of cold gas thrusters for enhanced manoeuvrability.

    As it stands we are expecting the Roadster to be able to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 1.9 seconds. So what happens if you do add the SpaceX Package?

    According to Twitter user Zack, who visited the Petersen Automotive Museum in California a few days ago, the answer is a mind-boggling (and hard to believe) 0 to 60 mph time of 1.1 seconds. “a rate largely unprecedented among modern road cars.”

    The shot as seen below was the description of the Tesla Roadster prototype sitting at the Museum.

    So I guess it’s now kinda official that the Space X package Roadster does a 1.1 second 0-60mph 🤯🤯🤩. Wow @elonmusk #Tesla #SpaceX pic.twitter.com/s7AibLkDmm

    Who thinks this is possible and will actually happen? What we have come to learn is that when Musk makes ridiculous claims, he generally makes it happen so let’s wait and see what comes to fruition on this one.

    As it stands, the new Roadster should be due next year.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
