The future of Tesla and its upcoming Tesla Model S sedan is still doubtful, but that doesn’t stop us from getting excited about this new teaser image that the company have released, leading up to the official unveiling scheduled to be held on the 26th of March 2009. The profile shows a 4-door sedan but with sporty proportions, perhaps what an enlarged Mazda RX-8 would look like.
This will be interesting as we’ll get to check out what design language path Tesla is treading down, because its first model the Tesla Roadster has too much influence of its base model in it, the Lotus Elise. The Model S was first referred to as Project WhiteStar, and is expected to have a range of about 386km, with a price tag of US$60k, much cheaper than the Roadster’s US$109k pricetag.

WOW !!! Looks cool… i mean both the rim and the car design as far from waht we could see at this moment…. Seems like it looks very much better than RX-8 i guess…
looks cool…
Gosh. Lovely shape there.
I just hope its reliability can be at least on par with "Proton".
Watched the Top Gear show testing the Tesla Roadster.
Seems to break down quite a lot.
Yeah agree for the looks,
damn sexy lines.
those rims are SLR rims design??
The side looks like a BMW Z4 to me. Will it backside look like Aston Martin?
The electric car can be a whole new revamp of the car industries like how camera changed from film to digital, and those refuse to change died hard later…it's a new game now. Cool.
