Even assuming that the speed, acceleration, and range numbers are correct you won't get three digit range if you use the speed and acceleration.

Another practical car for the masses.

I would love to see this one come out, it does kind of remind me ( specification wise) of the Lighting GT that's been talked about here on Gizmag as well, it also seems to be in a continual state of almost "ready to be released" as well? But I must admit this is the best looking one I've seen yet! :-)

again,proof that it can be done,and again,potentially putting the big players to shame. it's as if they,the big players,don't want it to happen....but,what's staring them in the face?

Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Pagani, Bugatti et al. go to extreme lengths to reduce unsprung weight, all the way from lightweight composite rims and ceramic brake discs to pushrod actuated suspension designs. For a performance car maker to use hub motors seems to me to be a poor choice. I would imagine that mounting the motors inboard would make far more sense from a handling perspective. I seem to remember that the Lightning GT also used hub motors. I would be curious to hear the engineer's reasoning. This is supposed to be a hyper car, not a Haulpak.

How much will it cost to replace the lithium Ion battery pack after 2 years of life?, and will you be able to if they only making 88 of them?.
Denis Klanac
Mat, you contradicted yourself in your comment. the fact that the motors are in the wheels makes them unsprung. so how did you come to the conclusion that this was a poor choice?

I really love the way this car looks but people with fast cars hardly ever drive them fast so this car will probably go more then 200 miles on a charge.

I thinking those who are able to afford one of these could possibly afford to also put together a team of appropriate skilled people to actually build something similar? If back yard 'tinkerers' can build their own electric vehicles then surely a privately funded team could make one hell of an 'electric beast'...press 'like' if you agree :-)

Awesome! Unfortunately, that kind of acceleration will likely destroy the batteries prematurely.
