Hey, I like that. Do you think he'll swap it for it for a lowered Mercedes estate.

Can I be anal - just for one moment? Under 'weights & dimensions' there's no weight (unless I'm blind...)

Give that a few more years in development and the range will be double that and it'll hit production if they get the cost down (not necessarily that car but the technology) then we can all listen to the whirr of brushes brushing commutators!!!! :lol:

You say that in the same way as when you're thinking about your buttplugs! :P :wink:

/\ :lol: But butty plugs are brushless because they are just plugs! The Vibro-Viper 2000 has brushes and whizzes like a witch on heat. But the Stealth Stick X50 uses an induction motor and is virtually silent! :mrgreen:

Anyway, how much does this fucking car weigh?

Don't know about the weight Bandit (and it's probably too early for them to state) but guess those batteries are a similar weight to an engine. :?
Here's another couple of views for you instead! :wink:

MMMmmm, carbon fibre and suede dash eh?! Obviously performance is very good by any standards esp for leccy but a modern fraud fester will probably weigh double that thing. Impressive though. Personally, I'm working on a nuclear engine.....or one powered by dog pooh and dead pets :roll:
