A Video Simulation Imagines Tesla Roadser With SpaceX Thrusters

Tesla announced its new Roadster car back in 2017 and since then everyone has been patiently for it to be finally launched. The car looks absolutely gorgeous and you would be surprised by the amount of power it can harness.

The all-electric car is unlike anything that has ever been made before. For starters, it is capable of 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds. This is the fastest acceleration time of any street-legal production car in the world.

Here's where things get interesting. That acceleration time is just for the base package. Elon Musk has revealed since then that there will be models that provide even better performance.

If that wasn't enough, he has also revealed that there will be a special model that will have "SpaceX thrusters". Yes, a rocket thruster in a car. Musk sure knows how to make your wildest dreams come true!

Simulation VIdeo

Till now, no pictures or videos have leaked of this special model. All Tesla fans can do is imagine how such a system would work. It would definitely be able to a much better time than the base model's 1.9 seconds. Perhaps 1.1 seconds? Who knows!

A user on Twitter by the name Slace Popovski, who is a CGI artist, has made a simulation video of the Roadster showing how it would accelerate with rocket boosters. You can check out the video above (which is from another channel as I couldn't embed the original video in this post).

Of course, the real thing could look way different but this video at least provides some idea about how it might look. From the looks of it, it is going to be really fun to experience this.

In an interview last year, Musk had also stated that the boosters would be able to provide three Gs of thrust. If you don't know how much that is, well, it's a LOT. Like, a lot, a lot!!

Also, just recently, he told Jay Leno that the SpaceX package will be like the ones in James Bond's car. The "main thruster will be like behind the license plate so for acceleration, it drops the license plate and behind the license plate is a rocket thruster", he said.
