And now for something completely different... Click the Minister.

looks like it took its insperation from this

hmm, very interesting. interesting indeed, if i had dat kind of money id probably buy one if it had better looks too it. but as of right now id rather buy a bugatti veyron. even though it cost more and isnt as effeciant as this car is

half J: I guess... 370kmh makes a bit of a statement though.

Elmo: This'll be more exclusive than the Veyron.. only 22 made (2 prototypes and 20 production units).

understandable in its esclusivity, but ehh... what the heck yeah id buy one just to be part of that elite group. but its a bugger being only limited to how far u can drive

and when somthing breaks...dear lord help the person

Isn't there a lexus car comming out that is also 1/2 electric? I swear I saw a commercial for that on 9/11 monday night football.

I would rather have a Tesla. Its an electric roadster built on the same manufacturing line as the Lotus elise (or exige...I can't remember...probably both). It does 0-60 in 4, costs about $100,000 and doesn't look like a shiny cockroach.

wow is this thing ugly

The car I was talking about was the Lexus GS 450h ... its only 56k, here is the link ...

that tesla is hot! cant wait til 2007 to see one...

i dont understand 8 wheels

i know that 4 turning in front and 2 in the back has been proven to handle better than a regular car.

never heard of 4 in front 4 in back though.


but damn 640hp 230mph and no shifting. wtf that is awesome.

'nuff said. My dad and I were gonna build an electric with a festiva body but realized its been done all over the place already. Tons of 13 seconds electric street cars for under $6k. with the still pricey motors/controllers and current state of battery technology it'd be more fun to have a nice Internal Combustion Engine powered vehicle. Nice and loud and slick. Electrics are hot though. That Joule 240sx is nutty.
