Didn't you know about this car? It's the most amazing piece of machinery ever :P

0-100 in under 4 (that's a Lambo and Ferrari beater) and a range of +/- 400km per charge...

The Governator has one as you say, but that's not a bad thing is it?

It will only cost about R900k anyway so it's not bad :P


I will own one oneday :twisted:

Lol i can just see it.

"Waiter, can i have two Valpre's please...one for me :) one for my car ;)"

Lol duh! If it cost US$150 and really worked, I'd buy one for my lawnmower.

Maybe we should get one of the rich guys on PCF to buy one for their car and see if it works? Where's that Dae_ja_voo gone now?

Just one question, If it's a Tesla motor, Why does everyone say Telsa? This is not the first time someone has made that mistake...

Probably a misunderstanding on what Tesla is...most people don't know it's named after Nikola Tesla.

Now where is the fun in this, what worth of the speed without the sounds of big bore v8 / v12's and the sound of whistling turbo's / superchargers as you go through the gears?

:wink:

Thinking the same thing. It's Tesla not Telsa. Anyone remember the Tesla coil defence system from one of the C&C's?

Well the elctric motor does have a very nice whine to it, and besides, its kinda nice when the Corvette next to you revs the crap out of his V8 and you silently drop him as though he was a two-legged tortoise with polio.
