Tesla Roadster Re-imagined in Cybertruck Guise

Published on December 17, 2019 in Buzz by Guillaume Rivard

What would happen if you crossed the upcoming Tesla Roadster with the newly unveiled Cybertruck? It’s a question no one has ever asked (we think), yet the answer can be found in this rendering posted on Twitter earlier this month.

A modern take on the famous DMC DeLorean? We guess you could say that. The American, electric version of a Lamborghini? Maybe that, too.

Whereas the Roadster is all about smooth curves, this new supercar overflows with triangular shapes in a way that’s arguably much more attractive than the Cybertruck. The wheels and full-width daytime running lights are directly taken from the electric pickup, while the squared lower body creates a rugged stance.

And as you can see, the guy who imagined it even retained the shattered driver’s window from the Cybertruck’s debut.

We’ll never know if such a design would sway more buyers than the real Tesla Roadster, which can be ordered now with a base reservation fee of $64,000 in Canada. Deliveries will start in 2020 or early 2021—after the Model Y but before the Cybertruck.

In case you forgot, Elon Musk promised the world’s quickest supercar with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.1 seconds, a top speed of more than 400 km/h and a range of up to 1,000 km.
