Hmmmm.......looks like a Noddy and Big Ears car with attitude, impressive spec though!!
Autoexpress featured a prototype electric Mitsubishi Evo recently that was powered by a motor for each wheel. Can't remember the figures but incredible performance for an electric car.

The only problem I got with these new electric/hybrid/fuel cell cars, is that they make them look so CRAP! Why can't they employ someone with a sense of style and design etiquette to design these things? That would do better for promotion than any government incentive, such as reduced tax and zero emissions rebates.
Don't get me wrong. If a good looking H2 fuel cell car came out that was affordable, and had that, or similar spec, I'd buy it. Wouldn't be seen dead in any of the current concepts.
Another example is the Toyota Prius with Hybrid Synergy Drive. Not only is the car rubbish, it looks horrible. In fact, I dont think there are any toyota's I like the look of any more.

The Evo is a 2ltr Petrol engine... unless theres a new one that has a 20+kW Fuel Cell power plant, which I dont know about!

It looks like a plastic Mikra. It would be great to work it by remote control when you're at the wrong end of the car park & it's raining. Just needs a little camera here and there...as it already looks like a toy.
