In any case, I'd love a revamped roadster. The main reason I skipped it was because of size and styling (never been a fan of Lotus designs). A restyled version with a bit more space and less-spartan interior would likely get my dollars.
So the Roadster would be completely designed in house. Does that mean it would be on the Model S skateboard platform? Or would it be on the smaller Bluestar platform?
I think that Elon is itching to stick two motors into a Model S or similar-size vehicle and get sub 4.0s 0-60 acceleration from the car. Could that be the Roadster?
Or maybe he wants to use the smaller Bluestar platform, make it a two-door convertible (or Targa top) and get a 0-60 time below 3.0 seconds.
Something tells me that Elon Musk would love to have bragging rights to the world's fastest production car (faster than every Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti).
I think that would be a major halo effect on the Bluestar if the $37,000 car had a $97,000 big brother that was insanely fast.
