Thats what people done get..the premium over an ev or hybrid could be 10,000 dollars over the standard car..for maybe 4 mpg more and all of that money youd save on the gas car you can spend on gas..hybrids are a waste

CAP AMR Jan 25, 2012
Agreed. Used low mileage Elises are plentiful for under 30k, and there's tons of available force fed kits putting them in the 300hp range. That extra 300k would buy exclusively but I'd be really hard pressed to believe anything else.

Kevin Rehbock Jan 25, 2012
$360K buys a lot of gas...This thing better run better than it looks. I want to see speed runs.

I don't like how the grill really isn't a grill...even though it's an ev.

Miftah Rasheed Amir Jan 26, 2012
All that sharp and spikies make it look so fragile.

Hank Austin Jan 26, 2012
If it had normal paint it would be so much better... Like matte black or just black would make a huge improvement

Austin Bride Jan 25, 2012
What is that finish it has on it? Cloth?

Phil Johnson Jan 25, 2012
It looks terrible. I mean, it just looks poorly built. I love the idea, but not the execution... or the price.

Adithya Chandrasekhar Jan 25, 2012
Looks lika a great white and a basking shark had a kid

Jeremy Saffell Jan 25, 2012
