Comments on: Eliica Electric Car Accelerates Faster Than a Porsche 911 http://gas2.org/2008/12/27/eliica-electric-car-accelerates-faster-than-a-porsche-911/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

But what is the actual category of this car? sports/sedan/luxury..... what? I think this it is hard to play with this car like the Porsche 911 or any other sports car because this is using 8 wheels, more friction, extra grip, very less drift, and hard to move freely on tight curves with great speed(bad sports car), but good for slippery or wet surface (useful when used as everyday car), but everyday cars don't need the speed of 370km/h. Top speed of 370 km/h (270 mph) is good enough. But what is the actual category of this car? sports/sedan/luxury….. what?

I think many of them are stringing along their investors. If you say it really takes 10 years to design and manufacture a new car (in more than manually-made volume), investors would say "wake me in 8 years". So they all say it takes 2 years, even though that's impossible. Color me skeptical, and pleasantly surprised, if we see more than a a handful of EV's 10 years from now. Especially with gas prices back down, investment must be drier than the desert. The Aptera is a great example. Due to ship 10's of thousands this year, their excuse is they have to redesign windows that open, despite claiming to have a long list of pre orders. Give me a break!
