特斯拉發佈新車 百公里加速全球第一

What's the fastest accelerating car in the world that you can buy without a special order and for a relatively affordable price compared to other high performance cars?

世界上跑得最快、而且你還不用特意預訂、並且跟其他高性能車相比價格非常良心的車是什麼？

Instead of a roaring, super-charged, high-octane-gasoline guzzler and air polluter it is an all-wheel drive electric car that can reach 96.5 kilometers an hour in just 2.5 seconds. Its two electric motors are almost silent and its wheels do not slip.

它的引擎聲沒有那麼響，機械增壓也不強，汽油辛烷值也不高很環保，它是一輛四輪驅動的電動車，在2.5秒內就可以加速到每小時96.5公里的速度。它的兩個電動引擎幾乎是無聲的，輪胎也不滑。

Founder and CEO of Tesla Motors Elon Musk Tuesday unveiled the new four-door sedan Tesla Model S P100D with an improved 100 kilowatt-per-hour battery that also makes it the longest range electric car. Fully charged, it can run for over 600 kilometers.

特斯拉汽車公司創始人兼首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克上週二公佈了新型四門轎車特斯拉P100D的，這款車配備了改進過的100千瓦時電池，使其能行駛更多里程數。在充滿電的情況下，它可以行駛超過600公里。

The same battery is now available in Tesla's Model X SUV, which accelerates slightly slower – only 2.9 seconds to 96.5 kilometers an hour. That is also a record for SUVs together with its improved range of 542 kilometers.

而現在特斯拉Model X運動型多功能車上也搭載了相同的電池，不過加速有點慢--加速到每小時96.5公里要用2.9秒。這種運動型多功能車在充滿電的情況下可以行駛542公里。

Both models can be recharged for free at the ever-expanding network of Tesla's Supercharger stations.

這兩款車都可以在遍佈各處的特斯拉超級充電站進行免費充電。

According to Musk, the improvement comes not from the battery technology but from new electronic circuits that make better use of their charge.

據馬斯克表示，提升不僅體現在電池技術上，也體現在可以更好地利用電能的電子電路上。

The new Model S starts at $134,500 while the cheapest of its competitors, Porsche 918 Spyder starts at $845,000.

新的Model S型車的起步價是13.45萬美元，是相似車型中是最便宜的，保時捷918敞篷版的起步價是84.5萬美元。
