“#This Tesla Roadster simulation with the SpaceX thruster pack shows its insane speed<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Tesla is claiming that its upcoming Roadster sports car will accelerate from zero to 60 quicker than pretty much anything else on the planet \u2014 1.9 seconds to be precise. It\u2019s so fast that there isn\u2019t much out there to compare it to, so we don\u2019t really have a frame of reference.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, for reasons we\u2019ll never understand, Elon Musk thinks that going from a standstill to 60 mph in under two seconds isn\u2019t quite fast enough.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s mused on the idea of adding cold gas thrusters to the Roadster to help it accelerate off the line even faster and get to 60 in 1.1 seconds. Naturally, Musk has called this the SpaceX pack.<\/p>\n

The only things that can accelerate faster than this are specialist drag cars which are specifically designed to go so fast you leave your face behind. So you\u2019re probably wondering what that kind of acceleration actually looks like?<\/p>\n

Well today is your lucky day, Slav Popovski, a CGI and 3D visual effects artist, has made a simulation that demonstrates the difference between a stock Roadster, and one with the SpaceX pack.<\/p>\n

Check it out below.<\/p>\n

Even though the SpaceX equipped Roadster is only 0.8 seconds quicker zero to 60, the reality is that it simply leaves the regular version in its dust. It\u2019s mind bending, but I suppose it literally has a rocket in its ass, so we shouldn\u2019t be surprised.<\/p>\n

The Roadster might end up being the fastest accelerating production car, when it\u2019s finally made. It might be fast off the line, but it ain\u2019t fast at actually getting there.<\/p>\n\n
