Someone in the car industry would have noticed the rest of the world has moved on from Li ion to Li Polymer..

Oh well, Dinosaurs are extinct because they couldn't adapt.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

"....we’re sure buyers could tinker with the car’s digital audio......"

Ohshit I do hope not. I've just had a vision of the future in which cars sail around in electrical serenity. Silent save for the sound of "Crazy Frog", that POS with the talentless helium-voiced dickhead or whatever other crap ringtone's doing the rounds at the time playing incessently through their personalised "acoustic safety modules".

I'm trying to think of something snarky to say about that name, but it's so bad that my language center seems to have completely shut down. My god! What were they thinking?

WIth the same bhp/ton as the Gumpert Apollo, I'm reckoning that's going to be far quicker than 5 seconds to 60 - 4 wheel drive and a lot more torque, more like 3 seconds? Nice!

Wonder how many racing starts are included in the maximum range...

<BEEP> Warning, this vehicle is going forwards.

<BEEP> Warning, this vehicle is going forwards very fast.

<BEEP> Warning, if you've heard this message, I'm past you already.

"an “acoustic safety module” that will apparently pump out sounds commensurate with the car's looks."

So a PA speaker and a copy of crazy frog should about do it.

Finding any place you can safely drive it maxed out.

Back end, not so much.

Still, it's a damn sight nicer than the milk floats most companies are pitching.

Can I say that this car looks really ugly? I know people do not care much about my aesthetic sense but every time some innovative design comes out, the sports car loving cock-rockers always complain about the looks (and I always thing glass houses, stones, etc.).

Expensive, ugly, and really stupid "noise added" tech--the electric part is great though!

I personally favour ..

A. Gordon Brown's voice chirping out .. Hold Me, Please Hold Me.

B. Britney Spears .. Baby One More Time.

C. Washing Machine On Spin Cycle.

D. City Rover.

E. Only Fools And Horse Reliant Robin.

F. 50cc Moped

Actually the electric part is the worst of all. Limited range, limited top speed, arguably no decrease in environmental impact at all once you factor for new fabrication, batteries, disposal/recycling, still a need to generate power and have a charger and let's face it, all this waste for a car that's not likely to be one's everyday cruiser to/fro work.

Can't they at least start using LiFEPO4 batteries for lower impact and greater charge cycling? Energy density is lower, but sports car or not it is a public roadworthy vehicle it need not be a race car if it is aimed towards environmental types, all it has to do is what all sports cars had to do, outperform much of it's class and below, and look unique doing so.

I'd hate to be traveling hundreds of miles in one though, not much of a factor if it's cruise range is short.

No chance. It'll use up too much power. Much better to stick a playing card into the spokes like we did with bikes when we were kids. My Raleigh Commando was a bleedin' Suzuki and no messin'!!

When are they gonna start using hydrogen fuel cells? Or nuclear battteries that last for years? Hell the original batmobile was using atomic batteries back in the sixties and the world STILL hasn't caught up!

UK prepped Mitsubishi Evo FQ400's do 0-60mph in 3.5 and only generate 300kW (according to Wikipedia) so 5s for an electric car with 400kW isn't very impressive. And the Evo is essentially a mass produced car.
