Tesla’s electric roadster is lean, mean and very green

Filed under: Auto, ElectricCar, ZeroEmissions, automotive, electric car, green, roadster, tesla, zero emissions — Stan Horaczek @ 9:15 am

Filed under:

Last night a host of fancy society-types, car buffs and our good friends from AutoBlog got a unique chance to check out Tesla’s electric sports car. The zero-emissions whip (it’s so green it doesn’t even have a tailpipe) will get about 250 miles on a single charge, and reaches speeds of about 130-miles per hour, with a 0-60 time hovering around a pretty impressive 4-seconds. Stop driving it long enough to peek under the hood and you’ll find a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor and a Power Electronics Module at the heart of this slick ride. Don’t run out to the car dealership yet, as these babies aren’t hitting the streets until mid-2007, and when they do, they’ll run you somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000. It sounds like a lot, we know, but just think of the looks you’ll get as you drive by at 124-mph, completely silently. Plus, it’ll be a great place to install your new Bluetooth-enabled head unit. Check the source link for a lot more pictures and even video from the big unveling.

Nissan To Give Gift of Game

Filed under: Auto — Gizmodo @ 10:18 am

nissanxbox_b.jpgNissan could be bringing you Xbox-ers a dream come true. It's a sports coupe called the Urge. This concept car has six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, driver-integrated cockpit and a built-in Xbox gaming system. I guess the driver can drive while the passenger plays PGR? Look for this jewel at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this coming January, though nobody is real sure about details.
