Have you ever found yourself at a car show, nodding along as someone throws around the term “pony car” and wondered if they’re talking about a horse with a penchant for speed? Fear not, fellow auto enthusiast, you’re not alone. A “pony car” is not just a tiny equine with a need for speed, but a class of American muscle cars, like the iconic Ford Mustang. The term originated in the 1960s when these compact, stylish, and affordable vehicles trotted onto the scene, redefining cool.
Revving up the electric scene, the Tesla Roadster from 2010 to 2012 was a high-voltage masterpiece! With a motor as efficient as a squirrel on espresso, this Roadster offered more power per ampere, while its manually adjustable suspension made every ride smoother than a jazz tune. From leather seats to a nifty gull-wing door, it was pure luxury on wheels. Tesla even took this beauty on a global joyride from Geneva to Paris! And while its American curtain call was in 2011, the Roadster kept zipping through Europe and Asia until 2012, paving the way for the Model S to take center stage.
