In Pictures: Tesla Roadster's fan downforce system and cold gas thrusters aim to dominate corners

Tesla's next Roadster promises fan-driven downforce and cold gas thrusters for cornering control at any speed.

Conventional supercars like this SF90 rely on speed-dependent aero, the limitation Tesla aims to eliminate.

Gullwing doors and aggressive aero show how far supercar design has pushed conventional grip solutions.

Active wings and underbody fans could give the Roadster race-track grip without relying on airflow alone.

For all their performance, today's supercars still generate peak downforce only at high speed.

The next Roadster's cold gas thrusters would add attitude control conventional aero simply cannot match.

Sub-0.9-second launches and unprecedented cornering control are the targets for Tesla's electric flagship.

Tesla's fan downforce concept would keep aerodynamic grip constant whether the car is moving or not.

If it delivers, the Roadster could dominate corners in a way no conventional supercar can.
