Women, car insurance & the super sexy electric Tesla Roadster
For some women car insurance is very much a secondary consideration to the style of the car they choose, and for some it is all about the green driving choice.
Now, the British made Tesla Roadster is a car that can fulfil both roles.
Super sexy, and coveted by such Hollywood big hitters as Brad Pitt and George Clooney, it may carry a price tag of £92,000, but it's electric and virtually silent even as it reaches its top speed of 125mph.
Powered by an 185kw electric motor and fuelled by boot-bound batteries, a three-hour charge enables the Tesla to run up to 220 miles; so this is no flash in the pan short distance pootler either.
Darryl Siry of Tesla commented, "This is a real sports car, and we want to find those people who not only want that performance, but who also care about the environment."
Here at CoverGirl women, car insurance, style and the joy of motoring are our priorities. We feel this type of car fits right in and the lower priced models that Tesla are said to be working on will be a tasty proposal as well.
