Cale 36 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Ugly! But suppose it has to be like that to be aerodynamic etc. Be interesting to see at what speed it does 1L/100km. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon it's great I think the VW was Ferdinand Peich's baby right before he retired. Doesn't explain why it is so ugly though. From memory the Tesla is based on the Lotus Elise - so looks like sex on wheels, and you would hope it corners on rails too. Got to love that torque curve from 0 rpm!!

c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 How expensive will it be though. Carbon fibre, titanium and alluminium arnt exactly cheap.... It wont have a market because the rich people wont buy it because its so ugly and the poor people wont be able to afford it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
