Looks cool, but even as a concept I wish they'd go for something more street relevant. A 1 seat race car really? That's not a likely application for an electric car in the near future...

What better way to promote electric cars that to say "look, race car"?
The auto industry has done that since day one.

I mean it's cool, it's just more or less guaranteed to be vaporware. I'd rather see a concept that might actually make it to production.

Yep, the fronts were lightweight, single bushing wheels off of my old little red dragen wagon ...... the rear wheels were custom, lightweight, spoked, double bearing wheels, from an old racing lawn mower .........
