The Tesla Roadster, powered by more than 6,800 lithium-ion batteries, can go from zero to 60 mph in about four seconds with a top speed of 130 mph.

Dubbed the XCS, the case seems to use peripherals like cartridges, possibly allowing for the swapping of harddrives or anything else you might want to swap.
