I’ve searched and seen some size comparisons to the S, but am not able to visualize the size of the new roadster. Is it about the size of the model 3? Small as the new supra? Don’t tell me it’s as small as a Miata or Alpha Romero? Compared to other supercars, this seems much smaller than a Huracan? I was hoping for the size of a NSX or R8. Mclaren is probably the smallest I could tolerate.
It'll be bigger than the original Roadster, that's for sure, and I've managed with that for 10 years. I'm more worried it'll be too big, not too small. They might need a lot of room to fit in all those batteries.
Just multiply the scale model's sizes by 18. https://shop.tesla.com/product/diecast-1_18-scale-roadster
I did a very un-scientific measurement using a pic of Roadster at a car show last year. It had a license plate on it in the photo so I extrapolated from that and, in short, it seems like it’s as wide as the S. Can’t speak to the length of it though.
Considering they're both 1:18 scale that's actually quite useful, thanks! You don't happen to also have the Model 3 1:18 model, do you? Would love to see the Roadster model next to that as well.
New Roadster is planned with two small back seats (unless you order the Space X package with rocket boosters).
I have the scale model S and roadster, and I think it is ‘approximately’ 1:18. But not accurate enough to give you more than just a rough estimate.
Fairly careful measurements of the die cast model yield the following dimensions. Overall length 179 inches Height 49 inches Width over front fenders 74 inches Width over rear fenders 77 inches Wheelbase 113 inches Front track 63 inches Rear track 63 inches Ride height 4.5 inches in center of car Floor thickness measured in passenger footwell 8 inches Same height but 3 inches shorter than a 2020 Corvette.
Not to worry... The Alfa is more like the size of the 2008 Roadster. For comparison Roadster 2008 155x73x44 Roadster 2020+ 179x77x49 Alfa 4c Spider 157x74x47 Jaguar F 176x76x51-52 Porsche 718 Cayman 172-176x71x50-51 Porsche 911 178x73x51 Porsche Taycan 195x77-78x54 Acura NSX 176x76x48 Audi R8 174x76x49 The only things which are not pretty standard are the price/performance ratio and the wheelbase. With so much weight concentrated in the center of the car the longer wheelbase might be a really good idea.
From what I can tell (I have one) the model is ‘approximately’ 1:18. Not sure detailed measurements are worth the effort.
Oh, it's simple, I thought. The photo window says "click this image to show full-sized version". But it didn't quite work ;-)
The link doesn’t provide specs. @CHB02 posted 179x77x49 (not sure from what source). But that’s comparable to a huracan 177x76x46 which is what I’m considering.
Perhaps the Roadster is still only in the prototype stage. More designing to do. Sorry, I thought I read the detailed specs. Perhaps I'm thinking of the CyberTruck.
