Mother of god. It was just a matter of time. Btw I said it before, Honda should've went full electric with the nsx instead of hybrid and then start the trend if fun affordable performance electric cars which they seem to be positioning themselves for.

Arent these just numbers generated by Tesla? They usually don't allow anyone to do any other testing right? The price point is outrages , and there track record with actually producing and delivering things they talk about are not all that great. I guess time will tell

Is that using Lotus DNA like the last one? I am sure my co-worker will be buying this one. He has two Tesla's (roadster and sedan) already.

No effing way they hit those published specs and not for 200k, those are 1.5MM supercar beating numbers. 1/4 mile in 8.9 LOL

200k is dirt cheap for those specs. A loaded P100D is already 165+.

With a 200kWh battery pack, I wonder how heavy it's gonna be. Looks pretty good though.

There is no doubt that electric motors are fantastic, but today's batteries suck. It's a promise of a 2+2 targa with real range and we all know promises perform very well.

The car looks like a Dany Bahar era Lotus prototype which I bet there is plenty of truth to. The Evora was designed as EV ready, so I can see this model is further evolution on the same idea.

I don't doubt the performance. They are close to that on one of their sedans and it's easy for an electric engine to pump out "top fueler" amount of torque if designed to do as such.
