Tesla has created a special version of the Roadster called ‘Final Edition’ in order to celebrate the end of the production of this model. In its four-years long career, 2,600 units of the Roadster (the very first production car from the American automaker) have been sold, and now the anticipation is growing for its successor, which should appear in the second quarter of 2012. The new model will be no longer based on a Lotus chassis, it will be the outcome of a brand new project totally engineered by the Californian manufacturer.
Only 15 Roadster Final Edition will be made: 5 for the US market, 5 for Europe and 5 for Asia, all of which will be exactly the same, coming with an Atomic Red paint job with two longitudinal black stripes and charcoal colored wheels. Apart from that, the Roadster Final Edition does not feature any other particular trait, but it will surely find a place in some healthy collection as the standard car it derives from is simply and undeniably a milestone of the electric vehicle industry: this is the model that put Tesla on the map, so to speak, and is bound to go down to the automotive history book as a car that opened a new era.
