this sounds so amazing. do you think it is really true? do you remember the dale? i'm always wary of these 'wonder' cars...

Well, this is far from a "wonder car" It'll cost $80K, and therefore relegated to niche status, similar to other exotics. From the article, the tech is solid, so there really isn't anything miraculous going on, just the application of existing off-the-shelf technology. It's basically an electric Lotus Elise.
