Saw a clip on this on that show "Futurecars" and if I ever make it big, this is definitely something I'd like to pick up! 100% electric powered, 0-60mph in around 4 seconds, 130mph top speed, 100% torque from 1rpm-13,500rpms!!! You can get a fully loaded one for about $102,000. The biggest downside I can see would be servicing it, you'd have to head up to their NYC location probably to get it fixed. The engine only weighs 70 lbs though, you could pull it and toss it in your pickup.
Takes about 3.5 hours max to fully charge and has a range of about 250 miles, which is solid for an electric car. If you're running low on a charge, you can get the travel charge kit for like $350 bucks and plug it in at a gas station while the bald guy in the Porsche next to you shells out $50 bucks to fill up :lol: You're just going to have to wait a little longer before you can drive off :wink:
And I think it looks damn sexy too!
