Footage: New Atlas
Tesla unveiled a new Roadster prototype at a launch event, demonstrating jumps, barrel rolls, and hovering using cold-gas thrusters and an underbody fan. The single-seat Rocket variant, invite-only and not road-legal, is the only version capable of full aerial stunts. Tesla claims 0-60 mph in 0.81 seconds and a targeted top speed of 383 mph. Musk says production begins in 2028.
