Elon Musk is hinting at the next-generation Tesla Roadster beating Rimac Nevara\u2019s newly achieved performance records.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are getting more news about the next-gen Roadster in the last few days than we have in over a year.<\/p>\n

After many delays, CEO Elon Musk was asked about it by a Tesla shareholder at the company\u2019s annual meeting yesterday, and he released a new timeline<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

We expect to complete the engineering and design of the next-generation Tesla Roadster this year and hopefully, this is not a commitment, but hopefully start production next year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Musk added that it will be \u201csick\u201d and reiterated that it will be equipped with the \u201cSpaceX package<\/a>,\u201d which supposedly includes cold air thrusters to improve acceleration and handling.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, right after the announcement, Rimac announced that its own electric hypercar, the Nevara, has just beat a bunch of new records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The list of performance records is impressive:<\/p>\n

Even though they operate in vastly different segments considering the Nevara starts at $2 million and Tesla said the Roadster would start at $250,000, there\u2019s been a bit of a rivalry between the Nevara and next-gen Roadster. <\/p>\n

Rimac reportedly\u00a0updated its plans for the Concept_Two, which became the Nevara, after seeing what Tesla had done with the new Roadster<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now the rivalry continues as Musk was asked if the next-gen Tesla Roadster would beat the Nevera\u2019s newly established 0-60 mph acceleration record, and the CEO answered simply \u201clol\u201d:<\/p>\n

\n

It would hint at Tesla planning for the new Roadster to have a quicker acceleration.<\/p>\n

Not only could it beat a 0-60 mph acceleration in 1.74 seconds, but some have suggested an acceleration as quick as 1.1 seconds for a Roadster equipped with the SpaceX package<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Should we believe this, or is it a fairy tale like the Roadster has been for the last six years? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
