Its built off of the Elise so it can't be that bad.

Voltage is for light bulbs ....Long live the internal combustion engine!

I like this better..........the KTM X-BOW

Look in your rearview Ariel Atom, KTM's nearly done with its pure-sports concept, which the Austrian motorcycle concern will show off in Geneva next March. It's called the the X-Bow, and it'll be powered by an Audi-sourced engine of some displacement and weigh slightly over 1,500 pounds.

The cycle maker's nasty little creation takes all the goodness of the Lotus 340R, Ariel Atom, and various light-and-quick Caterhams, and packs it into an interesting-looking racy body with space for two.

It should be light (1,500 lbs or less), quick as all get-out, and impossibly fun. Pricing is said to be in the neighborhood of

Both cars sounds awesome. The Tesla has a 13K redline The car above KTM looks like an elise thats been chopped up.

I saw an article on the Tesla a few weeks ago and I thought that it was a great idea. I think the styling of it looks great, built off an elise/exige platform, but it sits significantly wider than them if I remember correctly. The only thing is that all of those really light weight cars have great 0-60 #'s (they claim around 4 seconds), but I wonder what kind of 1/4 mile it would run? Probably like 28 seconds @61mph.
