Out of the million questions I have.... how in gods name do you have full torque at 0 rpm? or an engine that weighs less then 70 lbs but gets 135 mpg and goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds? You plug the damn thing into your ****ing wall and charges from empty to full in 4 hours. I don't understand any of this.

Also the site you gave a link to explains everything. Just look under the PERFORMANCE and ENGINEERING tabs.

Electric motors produce a ****LOAD more torque than combustion engines.

They're still not feasible for public use though.

They're still not feasible for public use though.

Judging by this car, I'd say they're getting close.

Just a car to do daily errands in.

You cant travel.
You cant go somewhere and stay there a night, it seems.
Well at least far away.
Road trips dont happen. (even though, who would in a sports car)

Other then that, the best thing I see is the quick speed of it.

yes, it just to take a tour through the city and have people look at you.

looks good, cars like that are the future.

even has 185kW, that's more than our BMW Z3 which has 146 kW :O

It would solve the gasoline problem, but in terms of pollution, you still need to generate that electricity somehow.

 

[Judge]

windmills and solar cells.

nuclear power could be an option, it's cheap and clean.. However the waste in the end is a bit of a problem.

But this is a whole other discussion

We don't really have a choice, we're exhausting all our resources.
