Since people are always asking me about numbers, I figured I'd better look up the numbers for my non-Sport 2.5 model Roadster. Weight, number of battery cells, horsepower, torque. On THIS page, under the Performance tab, they say that both the Sport and non-Sport have 288 HP, but that the Sport has 295 ft-lbs of torque, while the non-Sport has 273 ft-lbs.
Now, I don't pretend to understand this stuff very well, but I think that Power is (Force * Distance) / Time. Thus the motor with more torque should produce more HP.
Have I got this wrong, or is there an error on the Specs page? And if the Specs page is right, that both models have the same HP, then what am I misunderstanding?
