They also mentioned plans for a future sport model with 0-60 < 5s

Saw this:
"They use the same battery tray for all three options... The 160 mile version will not use all the room in the tray, the 230 mile version would be full and the 300 mile version would be using a different type of LiIon battery with more energy capacity."

I suppose if it was only being used for lower speed test drives, the range computer might give a very long projected range. If you started using it more at highway speeds, the expected range might go down.
But, you could be right about it having some sort of prototype pack.

Yep... Good observation.

It appears that the Signature Series will in fact be different from the Standard Series. The plan is currently slightly different from the Roadster Signature Series. Of course the plan might change but currently they are planning on the Signature Series to have unique badging and they believe that the Signature Series will have some features and options available that the Standard Series will not have. Carbon Fibre Accents on the inside of the car was the only thing mentioned. The main difference from the Roadster SS is going to be that all of the Model S SS will be totally loaded with options. In a sense the only options on the Signature Series will in fact be DOWNGRADES not upgrades.
