interesting.  so it's a full electric car running on batteries?  i wonder how many miles we can get from one "charge" and how often the batteries need to be replaced  

I think I would still take the gas version of the Atom over the elcetric one. The top gear video of the Atom is true automotive perfection.

hopefully that link works  

i think range migh t be a problem with this car, like with all electric cars i guess.  If i read the specs right the range per charge is only about 100 miles (granted it should be much more when a production model comes out) but how much more could they make it, you can only stuff so many batteries on board.  

I really don't think thats a car... It's more like a go-cart.

Burns a ferrari and a porsche.  

It has a regular CA plate, is it street legal then?  

That thing sort of reminds me of this rocket car I saw on the news that ran on like 5000 D sized batteries.  It may have needed a lot of batteries but the guy was driving it at like 150.
