Roadrunner

Roadrunner is a car company that makes electric cars. The company introduced the
first model in 2015 and they named it Speed. Speed soon became a success. Speed is
safe, fast, comfortable, and not very expensive. It has four seats. The car can travel
over 350 kilometres per hour. You only have to charge the battery every 700
kilometres. It even has a gaming screen inside. The company will introduce a new
model next year called Safety. This model will become the largest and safest electric
car you can buy. It will be able to carry seven passengers. The new model will also be
more economical.Both models have an autopilot function, so they are driverless.
