                              It simply uses the quattro AWD system IIRC.

                                      Meh, I have seen that for a while, I don't like it. The body looks like a chopped up lotus, and the interior looks like it was taken from a Pontiac.

                                      Its fast, I will give it that, but I can think of several other cars I would rather have for the money.

                                          I think it is sex...

                                          I keep thinking that the motor, electronics and battery would fit nicely into a 914 - or a VW/speedster kit car...

                                              You do realize that it is a fully electric car, right? As in, no gasoline? There is nothing like it.

                                              Oh, and it is a "chopped up" Lotus, they're made in the same plant. :o

                                                  Considering that the battery alone weighs 1000lbs, I think that there might be a slightly better way to get 248hp into a 914.

                                                      I dont think DavidV works there anymore?

                                                      I actually applied to work at Tesla this afternoon, as they have positions that are right up my alley and in my experience. I was going to contact David but it seems he was working under contract for them.

                                                      Either way, that car is sexy.
