The 2010 Tesla Roadster gets a revised interior and a more powerful motor to become the “Roadster 2.” The electric-powered, rear-wheel-drive, targa-top convertible also adds a Sport model that includes a higher-torque motor, lighter-weight wheels, and a manually adjustable suspension. The Roadster 2 packs 288 hp and 273 lb ft of torque; on the Sport model, torque rises to 295 lb ft.

The Tesla comes only with a single-speed transmission that functions like an automatic. Safety features include ABS and a traction-control system; front side airbags, curtain side airbags, and an antiskid system are not available. Standard are heated seats with inflatable lumbar support, electric air conditioning and heat, power windows and door locks, and a fabric top to cover the open passenger compartment.

An inflation kit substitutes for a spare tire. Options include a navigation system, leather upholstery, and a removable hard top.
