Looks cool, will probably never be made because it's electric probably won't go more than 1 mile before it need's charging again.

Its not just electric.

It will be made, just like the Carrera GT was a big secret and now is a production car.

It uses a normal big petrol V8 (500bhp ish) engine in the back, and two electric self charging motors win the front making another 215bhp.

1490kg (Inc the motors, thats bloody good).

94.2mpg and 70g/km under certain conditions (i.e 50mph on a motorway

)

Got it in EVO right in front of me

Was shown at Geneva car show to a big crowed as it was all so hush hush (just like the GT was).

Are they hubcaps?
I've been looking at pics in magazines and don't know what they are. Plastic wheels?

Supercars, not Mitos and puntos!

if they owned anything over a 1.6 petrol theyd probably top themselves

Helps the factory quota on eco cars. Hence that shitty little Aston Martin IQ thing.

As for who buys them, no idea.

It's a concept to show what the engineers can do. Do a bit of innovation, file a few patents, sell the designs on licence to other manufacturers and make a few quids.
