Prepare for a shock! Tesla has announced it is working on a new perfromance flagship - called the Roadster Sport.

The Roadster Sport sprints from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, that's 0.2 seconds faster than the standard Roadster.

According to the firm, the extra pace comes courtesy of a hand-made engine and battery pack which improves power output.

Performance improvements include new, stickier tyres and revised suspension with adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars.

Tesla claims is has 1,100 on the waiting list for a Tesla Roadster, but if they fancy the Sport version they’ll need to stump up and extra ,000, taking the list price over here to £99,520 plus VAT.
