If electric cars had been made this sexy from the start we'd have a lot less Piruses on the road :thumbsdown:

If they made one and not too expensive, I'd buy one.... and use it for weekdays.. LOL

If BMW could use this technology and make cars... oh yeah!

Seems a little weird though... 120/220v charge of 10 minutes = 90 miles..? Yeah, right.



And it would be alot of fun creeping up on folks from the back without any noise... scary thought having that machine go down the road S--I-L-E-N-T!!!

Why 740hp?

Try to cut the power output in half, to extend the weak 90 mile range.
