How Fast Could a Tesla Roadster Hit 60mph on Mars?

One of the hot topics over the past couple of months has been the Tesla Roadster and how the car promises some pretty insane performance metrics. To top that all off, the man behind it all, Elon Musk, has taken the liberty of launching one into space in the name of SpaceX and further making curious minds inquire about all that this guy is capable of, but this time, we take a whole different angle to look at the car from. Thanks to Engineering Explained, we get a whole new perspective on the matter that shows us an entirely different idea that you might have never even thought of!

As a Tesla Roadster has shown off some pretty incredible performance metrics or at least promised them, it has left folks far and wide wondering how it will execute those numbers when it finally rolls out into the streets. However, instead of streets here on Planet Earth, this time, our host over an Engineering Explained takes the liberty of seeing exactly how the car would perform if it were planted down on Mars. Would it have the same performance capabilities as it would here on earth or would we be looking at something entirely different?

If you follow down in the video below, you’ll get a perspective on this matter that you might have never even considered but now that you know about it, you can’t help but wonder what the result would be. Would the car be a performer on Mars or would it be a flop? It’s kind of scary to think that one day, we could be looking at how this information might apply to practice in real life rather than just in theory. You never know what could be coming right around the corner with space exploration, after all.
