FREMONT, Calif. - Five years after shocking the automotive world by launching a battery Lotus Elise, Elon Musk, CEO and founder of Tesla Motors, announced that its electric car company "will build a high performance version of the Model S , which will range from zero to 60 (km / h) in 4.5 seconds. It's faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera. "
The crowd went wild, naturally. Deposits from hundreds of customers had already paid laps done in the parking lot at speeds above 70 mph when driving a red musk pre-production car show Tesla Model S - although somewhat more slowly - until the ramp to a stage in the U.S. Tesla plant (Formerly known as NUMMI, installation Tesla Toyota bought last year and redesigned for a fraction of what a new car factory normally costs of construction). Production versions of the Model S will begin deployment in mid-2012.

"The oil companies say electric cars can not work, but it's true we do not want to work," said Musk.
"But here it is," he said. "They will say that this car is the equivalent of a unicorn. Well, tonight was a chance to ride a unicorn."
After driving onto the stage of the Model S, Musk has left his seven-passenger sedan, with seven other passengers (and their luggage), three very unconventional way: two children came out of the optional rear bucket seats, and through the back door , and the guy popped out of the eighth surprising under the hood carrying a backpack.
