Tesla Roadster hits 0-60 in 0.81 s, Porsche reveals Mission S, Haas signs Brazilian

Tesla's new Roadster flipped midair with SpaceX thrusters and ran 0 to 60 mph in 0.81 seconds, though production waits until 2028, while Porsche revealed the Mission S, a mid-engine supercar above the 911. Haas signed Brazilian F2 leader Rafael Câmara, Hyundai ends the HB20S after 14 years, Dodge may return to NASCAR at the 2027 Daytona 500, and VW plans to cut its lineup in half by 2035. Everything that happened in the last 24 hours in the car world. 🚀 Tesla Roadster: The 10 cold gas thrusters run on air from two 600 liter tanks. The Thrust version asks for $250,000, and the invite-only Rocket isn't street legal. 🏁 Porsche Mission S: CEO Michael Leiters says this supercar family will be a permanent part of the lineup. Porsche confirmed these cars won't be electric. 🇧🇷 Haas F1: Team boss Ayao Komatsu says Câmara won the seat by being fastest in old-car tests, mainly at Portimão. Haas has never scored a podium. 🚗 Hyundai HB20: The i20 sold only 7,700 units from June to September, while the HB20 tops 53,000 this year. The Bayon SUV takes the HB20S spot. 💸 Renault Duster: The Zen Plus is R$24,000 cheaper than the Intense Plus manual and keeps six airbags and 112 hp on ethanol. Duster sales are down almost 20% this year. 🏎️ Dodge NASCAR: Dodge would run with Kaulig Racing and ECR Engines, which must build an engine distinct from Chevrolet's. That would bring the Cup Series back to four manufacturers. ✂️ Volkswagen: CEO Thomas Schäfer announced the cut to Autocar at the Paris Motor Show. In Brazil, the Polo was September's second best seller, behind only the Fiat Strada. 🔋 Renault hybrid: The system pairs a 1.3 turbo flex engine, 48 volt electrification and a 31 hp rear electric motor. The Boreal SUV and Niagara pickup should get it first. #TeslaRoadster #PorscheMissionS #RafaelCamara #HyundaiHB20 #RenaultDuster
