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.
