Well I saw that...car..if you'll call it that...and it's definately a beast. Looking at this Tech TV article:

http://www.techtv.com/news/print/0,2...386884,00.html

You'll noticed they compare this Tengo to a Doge Viper! Furthermore, the car does 0-60 in less than 4 secs. As if that wasn't fast enough, compare your sports car to it! It pulls 12 sec 1/4s! Imagine going to the track and losing to a car 36" (3') wide?! Hopefully you're not suicidal, otherwise you'd better hold your head in shame.

Like all good things, there are a few bad things...number two on the list is the battery...it's only estimated to live for 2500 charges. Since the battery is about 1000 lbs. you'll pay a fortune in shipping, let alone the battery.

More importantly, and number one on the list is the cost. You'd think that for a 8'6 x 3'0 x 5'0 you'd pay around 20K-30K tops...but it's a bit higher...to the tune of $80,000!!!

EDIT: Another bad thing is mods...where would you buy them? And more importantly, WHAT would you mod?

My opinion: If you have nothing but money to burn, or you want a car everyone will look at you for, or if you want the ULTIMATE sleeper, buy it

If you have any sanity whatsoever: Laugh at the prospect of buying it and hope you never come to a stoplight with one.
