If these guy's are for real, I'd buy their car:

It's about time someone made something like this. They've partnered with Lotus for some of their design, and all their manufacturing. Pretty dang cool!

There are two major developers of electric sports cars, one is Tesla Motors and the other one is Wrightspeed, Inc. http://www.wrightspeed.com I would imagine these cars to sell in the neighborhood of $150-200k. The Wrighspeed X1 prototype is worth I believe around $150k. It beat the crap out of a Ferrari 360 Spyder and a Porsche Carrera GT in a drag race. 0-60 in an blazing fast 3 seconds. There's a video of it on the site. Just think of WICKED acceleration and almost instantaneous torque available at your disposal!

Thats because an electric motor has peak torque at JUST off 0 RPM. 1 RPM is max torque.

Why would you guys want this car when you could have electric Tercels?
