hey jevad they had that on tope gear/fifth gear about a year ago....whipping around monaco in it, some director guy had one and it looked great. one of the best things about that engine is constant torque which mad it really quick off the marque and super nippy

"Just before Christmas 2004, 30 employees and board members from Tesla came to Eberhard's Woodside, California, house to decide what the car would look like. He had commissioned four top automotive designers to draw sketches, which he taped to his living room wall. He gave everyone three red stickers and three green and told them to flag what they liked and didn't like. By the time the eggnog was gone, the green dots had coalesced around a drawing by Barney Hatt of Lotus Design in England. This is how a Silicon Valley startup does car design."
ah -ha!!! I thought it looked rather Lotus Elise-y!
nice
