Road and Track has taken an early speculative look at what Tesla’s Model S sedan may look like. Of course, it’s impossible to know for sure how close this rendering may be to the real thing, but it’s always fun to guess, right? We can see some clear inspiration taken from the company’s first effort, the Tesla Roadster, along with a hint of Nissan GT-R in its flanks. We know for sure that the rear of the car will feature a deeply sloping hatchback, like the Porsche Panamera, and R&T’s artists seem to have that feature down, as well.

We’ve actually gotten an early peek at the Model S from the rear via Tesla’s new design chief Franz von Holzhausen, formerly of Mazda fame, which shows a nice carbon fiber rear diffuser and an aerodynamically sound cut-off hind end. Unfortunately, the Model S has been delayed by roughly six months due to the tough economic climate and some massive reorganization taking place at the Silicon Valley automaker. We don’t expect to see the fully developed car until next Spring. Thanks for the tip, Kunal!
