\nTesla Roadster Sport versus Porsche Boxster Spyder – click above to watch video<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWe’ve been fortunate enough to drive a number of different Tesla Roadster<\/a> models now, including a week-long review<\/a> that was just published. Owners of high performance sportscars like the Roadster sometimes like to take their rides to the track for some of the kind of fun you can’t really have when you are constantly on the lookout for hidden constables. While we haven’t had the chance to track a Tesla, one of the favorite cars for such activities is the Porsche Boxster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Motor Trend<\/em> magazine’s Kim Reynolds and Arthur St. Antoine took the latest edition of the Boxster, the new Spyder to Willow Springs along with a 2010 Roadster Sport. It makes for very interesting comparison since the 2011 Boxster Spyder<\/a> is the most minimalist version of the Porsche and the Tesla has a slightly more upscale interior than its Lotus Elise<\/a> progenitor. <\/p>\n

At nearly twice the price of the German, the Tesla offers tremendous performance but requires more effort to learn its limits in part because of the reduced feedback it offers. Nevertheless, St. Antoine in particular was surprised at how well Tesla’s “science experiment” works. When considered purely from a bang-for-the-buck perspective, the Roadster makes no sense compared to the Porsche, but to be fair, on-track performance has never been the Tesla’s raison d’etre<\/em> anyhow. Check out the video after the jump<\/a>. <\/p>\n
