The Brits from Autocar asked them selves a simple question: will the Tesla Roadster drift? It certainly has enough juice for it. The Tesla Roadster is powered by an electric motor that outputs 248 bhp and 276 lb.-ft. of torque. With a top speed of 130 mph, the Tesla Roadster can get from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds. The answer to the question is Yes. The Tesla Roadster is able to drift, but you have to take into account the fact that they used a wet track. We wonder hot will it do on dry tarmac.
