It will go beyond the Limits of Physics. The multi-mode fan and ground sealing system acts as a downforce generator, pulling air out from beneath the vehicle. This provides enough suction to hold the vehicle upside down, even when stationary. Powered fans and active wings maximize traction and cornering speeds in all conditions, achieving massive downforce at zero speed. A next-gen steer-by-wire system offers incredible feedback in various road conditions. Activate Track Mode to lower the car and transform the suspension. High downforce or low drag modes can then be used as needed on the track.
Performance will have the multimode suction. The Thrust version will have thrusters and multimode suction.
Advanced cold-gas thrusters use all-electric actuators to offer precise thrust, completing micro adjustments within a fraction of a second. This helps stabilize the vehicle in flight.
Tesla Roadster with SpaceX package (thrust / rocket version) provides extreme performance through cold-gas thrusters in addition to its electric powertrain.
Key features of the SpaceX / thruster version:
Cold gas thrusters (typically 10) mounted around the vehicle for:
Dramatically improved acceleration
Better braking
Enhanced cornering / lateral grip
Higher top speed
These are the same type of thrusters used on SpaceX rockets (cold gas, not rocket engines burning fuel).
