When you hear numbers like 0-60 in under 4 seconds. You first thought probably isn't "electric car". In fact until now cars that have that kind of performance have been super sports cars that get abysmal gas millage. Now you can have the fastest car on the block and also have the greenest car on the block. Thanks to Tesla Motors and their 2008 Tesla Roadster.

The Roadster is an all electric sports car that can hold its own with the big boys. In-fact I was looking at Performance Car News and looking at pricing and 0-60 speeds and the Tesla's 3.9 second for $98,950 beats out all but a few. Not bad for a car thats on the cutting edge of technology. Not to mention its a Zero Emissions vehicle.

How can an electric vehicle get such great performance you ask? I'll let Tesla fill you in on the details but it basically comes down to this, electric motors are way more efficient than gas motors. For a driver that mean more power, more consistently without shifting gears.

So when will this futuristic super car hit the market? It already has! Electric cars are no longer pipe dreams or supped up golf carts. They are here now. I can't wait until I see one of them in person.
