Tesla Roadster Confirmed For GT5

The Tesla Motors Facebook page has confirmed that their battery powered electric sports car will feature in Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 5. 

“Starting in November,” it says, “you can drive the Tesla Roadster in the newest Gran Turismo. Thanks to Sony Computer Entertainment for the next best thing to a real-world test drive.”

“Why burn virtual oil when you can burn virtual rubber instead?” asks the page.  The award winning, rather beautiful two door roadster, which outputs 248 hp, gets to 60mph in 3.7 seconds and can manage 120 miles per gallon. 

We’re assuming it’s one of GT5’s ‘premium’ cars, of course, given the high profile of the vehicle.
