This one-of-a-kind, heavily modified Tesla Roadster prototype is currently up for grabs.

An extremely rare piece of Tesla history is currently up for grabs.

gave A one-of-a-kind roadster RR Currently for sale, According to Electrek. The sporty EV is the only prototype built with a planned performance package that never saw the light of day.

It’s almost forgotten today, but the Roadster is the model that gave Tesla its start. The rebodied Lotus Elise was built between 2008 and 2012 and proved that Elon Musk’s company could build and sell a true electric car. Near the end of production, Tesla was exploring the idea of ​​developing a performance package for the vehicle to help its service department make money. The program would eventually come to a halt due to leadership changes in the department, but not before this prototype was built.

The EV – which would have been called either the Roadster RR or the Roadster E-Sport if it had been brought to market – began life as the 2.5 Sport. Originally sold in 2012, it was repossessed by Tesla after being involved in an accident. It was then repaired and rebuilt at the company’s Seattle service division. Then the fun began.

The proposed $30,000 performance package has a number of upgrades that you may and may not see. The biggest changes include a Hollinger limited-slip differential built specifically for EV torque, front and rear Terox performance brakes, and a custom suspension system. It also features custom carbon fiber bodywork, a clearcoat finish (it’s the only roadster to feature a carbon fiber body), and a reupholstered interior.

The EV’s powertrain seems to have been left untouched. The 2.5 Sport had a single motor that sent 288 hp and 295 ft lbs of torque to the rear axle. This version of the roadster came with a 53-kWh battery that was good for 244 miles of range, but the prototype’s battery has been swapped out for an 88-kWh capacity pack that should provide up to 400 miles of range. Hits. Listing The EV has only driven a total of 100 miles since its new battery pack was installed, so it’s in good shape.
