The new Tesla Roadster will be the fastest production car from 0-60 in the world.
Elon Musk's space-age, self-driving Tesla cars may have dropped in value since his SNL performance but it certainly doesn't seem to have hurt the R&D department much, as the business and tech magnate confirmed the updated 'Roadster' model will reach 60 miles per hour in just 1.1 seconds.

It was part of the PR and general posturing for the new model (initially launched in 2008) but was little more than unfounded publicity until now, as Musk responded to a Tesla owner and self-confessed "car nut" on Twitter confirming that this estimation is indeed true. In fairness, it's yet to be seen in action but we don't imagine he'd double down if he wasn't confident.
