    I know the price tag is around 1 million dollars at the moment, and it's basically a concept car, but shouldn't this give Musk's Tesla a bit of a push to innovate quicker?

    Goes to show what can be achieved with an electric car (within our lifetime).

    Power: 800 kW / 1088 hp
    0-100km/h: 2.8 sec
    Top speed over 190mph
    Range of 375miles on one hour charge

    4 motors (one for each wheel)

    Can adjust driving style to oversteer or neutral or understeer.

    I have never heard of this company before but the car looks great if ever so slightly outside my price range.
    It's good to see another company making electric cars.

    I'd never heard of them either, until I ran into the link.
    They seem to have started by working out of their garage. Again, Croatia isn't quite renowned for their auto industry.

    It's a great effort though.

    I wonder how much it weighs,? I believe the Tesla is 2 ton. Motors in each wheel cause serious braking ware in some EVs.
