Needs a legit Tron Legacy makeover.

Love the body. Hate the wheels.

 

[DaBigBone]

Greta looking car other than the wheels.

I think the wheels are sick because it's an electric car. Love the blue too.

 

[frank5o]

Death of the combustion engine right there.

Why do manufacturers insist on shitty wheels for electric vehicles???

 

[cobraless]

Same.. WTF is up with these electric car wheels?

 

[GT915]

It is beyond me why any one would consider buying this thing when they could have a better looking version with the ripping exhaust note associated with the 525 horse V10. I'd just leave this turd for someone wanting to upgrade their prius.

Yes.

Who the hell would buy an R8 for has savings anyway? Love that torque but they're way down on HP. Those wheels are sickeningly pissening.

So if it takes me about 3 hours to go 280 miles (thus draining the batteries)... How long would it take me to go 300... Including charge time/refueling time in this VS a combustion powered car...

Combustion wins.

If you have to take a 300 mile trip frequently and the range on this is 280 miles, clearly this isn't meant for you.
Americans have such a hard time grasping the point of electric cars, go live in Europe where they measure CO2, fuel prices are very high and you can't drive vehicles in urban centers.
This car is cool as it doesn't look like your typical ugly looking EV and has performance to boot.

I know this. Just making the point that we are still a long way from elimination of a combustion engine. I never stated that I had plans on making it the car for me...
