0-60 in 4 seconds
A torque curve that starts from 0 RPM at 300 ft-lbs
Top speed of 130 mph
90% efficient (80% at top performance)
This may sound like the specs for a Ferrari but you'll be saving on gas for two big reasons, firstly you get the equivalent of 135 miles per gallon, and secondly because it doesn't use gas at all, it's electric (boogie woogie woogie)
The Tesla Roadster being built by Lotus is the worlds first electric powered performance car. It has performance comparable to a Porsche Carrera GT and runs on thousands of lithium ion batteries. Charging takes about three hours and the car can travel 245 miles on a single charge. It's truly the future of automobiles.

We respectfully disagree. We believe driving is exhilarating. Just watch any child on a go-cart and the joy is plain to see. And when you can soar along at top speed, knowing the only oil in the car is in the transmission, the only emissions are the songs from the radio, the ride becomes more enjoyable still.

This is proof that nothing stands in the way of us dropping our dependency on oil but the oil companies themselves.
