Tesla Model S

Stunning electric sports saloon could finally bring Tesla into the mainstream

It’s the electric XF! There’s no doubt that the new Model S will be the car that flips the executive car world upside down – and finally puts Tesla on the map. Getting the same lithium-ion battery technology as the Elise-based Roadster, it’s gunning for Jaguar’s XF and BMW’s 5-Series. As well as a gorgeous body there’s space inside for five, with an extra two seats for children behind. Tesla claims 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 120mph. Buyers can choose from three battery packs, with ranges of 160 miles, 230 miles and 300 miles. Tesla says that the battery can be partially recharged in just 45 minutes. Expect the entry-level model to cost less than £40,000 when sales start in 2012.
