Venturi Fetish

http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/vehi...rtner=netscape may be a repost but i seen this article on it. 214hp and does 0-60 in 5 seconds. Downside is charging the battery and the 217miles on one charge. Of course also the $660,000 price tag !!

It says it can do 0-60 in <5seconds, what the exact figure is, who knows.

I imagine it costs so much because a) its made in Monaco and b) its a limited run. The interior is nice and everything and I can only be sure it handles well at such a light weight, but I just can't imagine flooring it and not hearing the revs building, only hearing a quiet hum and watching my speedometer quickly rise.

how is 217 miles on one charge a downside? compared to other electric cars its a lot better. compare to hummers, one charge could probably outlast one fill up . unless you want to compare the driving range to a civic...

Woah... thats awesome. A 14k redline! Damn... That's even higher strung then an S2000. It also weighs about the same as a Civic.
