The all-electric sportscar that caught the world's attention last year is about to do it again this year as UK auto mag CAR has published spy shots of the Tesla roadster undergoing onroad testing near Lotus Headquarters in England.

CAR reports that what will be the world's first electric sportscar will boast Porsche 911-style performance times; 0-60 mph in a scant 4.0 seconds and be based on the lotus elise's chassis. Further, Lotus will be the manufacturer.

The £41,000 ($79,000) sportscars are set to sell this Autumn.
