very sexy, lotus suspension tunning is always top of the line, this one is probably going to be a hell of a track monster

looks like an rx8

With all that body cladding, it looks like something from a Mad Max movie.

The guy in the first Tesla shot seems to be upset at the person taking the picture...

I have to say the test mule looks like a Transformer ready to turn into a robot for the new movie. Probably nothing like what the final body will look like.

The body cladding is obviously a decoy. You can see the promise of a very nice looking car beneath . . . starting with the Enzo-esque tail lights. I've always liked the original Esprit too.

It's a Tesla Roadster (RTFA), an electric car designed by the Elise's chief designer.
