Holy crap. I'd turn into a tree-hugging weenie for this:

It's a beautiful car, and I immediately made the visual connections that the article stated. I would like to know what the "tree-hugging weenies" think about it, though. I'm sure that they are quite disappointed in the effort to make the vehicle fun to drive.

Impressive. Reminds me of a Bristol Fighter crossed with a Vanquish.

I wonder if it has any significant drawbacks, (aside from high cost), maybe a short range?

.... 700 hp yet it still takes 4 seconds to hit 60? Calling BS here. :P

Also, as cool as it is having motors in all of the wheels (which is probably where they get that 700 hp figure) the utter lack of gearing would really suck. Which come to think of it is also probably why it takes 4 seconds to hit 60.

Man that car sure looks pretty. I wonder how all the unsprung weight (motors in wheels) affects handling and ride quality...
