Yeah a guy posted it up on FF.com so I thought I'd transfer it over here also.
Very cool, I still am extremely skeptical on the safety issues of these 'small' cars. I posted up a link to a crashtest on the SMART cars and they can handle a hell of a beating but it's probably just the impresson a person gets of a smaller car = not as safe.
It would be neat to see those things kicking around town but at $10,000 for a car that quick, there'll be alot of death. If they drop the speed (yeah I know that sucks) and acceleration of the car, and sell at that price, I bet they will be a strong, a very strong competitor to the SMART in the future, especially with the way fuel prices are these days (and in the future).
I wonder what the power cost would be to recharge that thing (say for a month). Power bill must go insane........ probably cheaper then gas though in the end.
