Comprehensive production model review

I believe it's production. Great write-up. Some performance figures too (not claimed to be estimates):

Sorry

No, I was wrong, it's pre-production.

But it's not a review that I had seen before. :D

They claim curb weight of 1300kg. (2860 lbs.), a top speed of 151mph, and a 6.0 second 0-60.

Nobody is reviewing a production car before April without a time-machine.

Talking

I think I have a flux capacitor sitting in my garage somewhere, should I put that under the "parts for sale" section of the forum? There are enough people on this forum to put something together. All we need is a DeLorean and some plutonium right? :D

We don't need the plutonium if we can find some other way to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity.
