Quite neat, but a big job to get into production. They probably won't be able to use ERA, as English Racing Automobiles got their first.

Blah! Stop it. As large a supporter as I am of Electric Vehicles, I concede they will -never- make it as sports cars. Granted they're fast, but with one gear ratio (1:1) and no noise, there is honestly no point; they will never capture anyone's imagination. And for heaven's sake, if you are going to change the propulsion system, why not take advantage of the flexible architecture it allows for? We are on the precipice of major change in the automotive industry.... Why are our Design Institutions being so damned conventional?! (Cool looking car at any rate.)
