Musk previously discussed using the same three-engine powertrain in the new Tesla Roadster as in the new Model S.

At the time, it was noted that the setup could achieve greater performance through a smaller form factor. Now it looks like Tesla will not stop there and will further refine the powertrain technology for a future novelty.

In a fresh tweet, Musk noted:

The Plaid carbon-clad engine is arguably the most advanced engine on Earth, apart from laboratory examples. We must keep secrets! We’ve got some ideas on how to further increase the torque and rpm for the new roadster. Definitely a fun and exciting development awaiting us! “

A prototype Roadster 2 was on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. According to Elon Musk, the production Roadster 2 will look better than this prototype. And it will accelerate to 100 km / h in 1.1 s. It is expected that the development of the car will be completed this year, and production will begin in 2022.
