Roadster

When Triumph first introduced the Rocket ΙΙΙ in 2004, its 2.3-liter engine set a benchmark in the world of mass-produced motorcycles. The British motorcycle manufacturer has now upped the ante with an even bigger three-cylinder engine in two newly unveiled variants, the R and GT.

Although 385 horsepower might not sound like a lot, when your car weighs just 675 kg (1488 lb) dripping wet it means you're in for a cheek-flapping 2.7-second sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph). Mexico's feistiest road-legal track car is about to hit the street, and it looks like an absolute blast.

Utah's Vanderhall Motor Works expands its lineup with the new Carmel. The three-wheeled roadster adds a pair of doors and gains a lighter, more powerful engine, 19-in wheels and high-performance brakes.

​Back in November 2017, a new generation of the Tesla Roadster was revealed. Now Musk has announced that a special option package for the 2020 Roadster will see the electric sportster packing small "rocket" thrusters, adding that "maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly ..."​

​BMW has made the i8 hybrid supercar into a really, really cool i8 Roadster with a new design, more power, and a better battery. Launched at the LA Auto Show, the i8 Roadster and its new and improved i8 coupe companion get a couple of new color options and some copper upholstery.

​​It's not a motorcycle. Not a car either. The auto-cycle rolls somewhere inbetween. Vanderhall's Laguna three-wheeler was released in 2016, and followed with the Venice Roadster. Both of those open-air two-seaters had gas engines running the show, but that's changed with the all electric Edison2.​​

​At at Tesla launch event last night, a surprise popped out of its upcoming electric semi-truck as Elon Musk announced the resurrection of the car that started it all. The new Roadster is on track to zoom from 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, have a top speed of 250+ mph and a range of 620 miles.​

In its short history, Horacio Pagani's boutique rival to Ferrari and Lamborghini has developed a back catalogue of automotive erotica to make any petrol head weak at the knees. We didn't think it possible, but the company's latest offering might just be its most beautiful car yet.

Sometimes the designers at Ferrari decide to go beyond the call of duty and release a limited edition destined for the garage of wealthy collectors. Based on the 488 GTB Spider, the J50 is the latest special edition to roll forth from the Ferrari stable.​

Advanced Innovative Engineering's 650S rotary engine's small, lightweight size makes for easy integration within vehicles like the cherry red roadster it put to the track last week. AIE calls that prototype the first British sports car powered by a single rotary rotary engine.

Look quickly at the all-new Kode57, and you'll swear you're looking at a Ferrari ... you just won't be able to recall the exact model name. That's because the aggressive roadster isn't a Ferrari but is designed by someone with experience sculpting them.

Two years after revealing a prototype, and four years after beginning development, the UK's Elemental Motor Company is putting the final touches on its high-performance Rp1 roadster ahead of a 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed reveal. The Rp1 has gotten more power and a more optimized construction.
