    Sounds great. 4 seconds to 60...sounds like it's extremely light and torquey! Being electric it'd be one instant surge! No build up or drop off of acceleration, just instant.

    I agree, sounds great. But how much of the sports car feeling is lost with no sexy sound from an engine?

    It sounds like a electric forklift or a electric golf cart.

    Not a lot of romance there.

    I read recently somewhere that they expect a higher than average number of pedestrian - car accidents because those things are way too quiet,--you don't know they're coming!

    That "Loud pipes saves lives" theory has been dismissed long ago.

    Yes, dismissed by the traffic safety green lobbyists. It is a fact that there is a much bigger chance of me moving out fof the way of a car if I can hear it coming.
