Auto major Tesla has shown the glimpse of its ‘surprise’ vehicle at the Grand Basel auto show as the company has showcased the next-gen Roadster at the opening event.
Tesla showcased the white Roadster prototype which became the centre of attraction at the auto show that will be opened for public from 6th-9th September in Basel, Switzerland.
The company has also released additional images of the Roadster.
Interestingly, this is for the first time Tesla has brought any vehicle to a car show and also the first time the vehicle was in Europe.

The “base” version of the Roadster is said to get from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds, according to Tesla, and reaches 100 mph in just 4.2 seconds. To put that into perspective, it means the Tesla could get to 100 mph faster than something like a BMW M4 coupe can get to 62 mph. The official top speed hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s thought to be somewhere around 250 mph. But what really is exciting about this car on top of all that is the claimed driving range on a single charge of 620 miles.
