tzero: An electric car that will go from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. That puts it neck and neck with a Ferrari 575M Maranello.
The tzero is being readied for production, and is expected to begin deliveries in 2002. The exact timing is not yet determined. It will be priced between Porsche and Ferrari.
Take one Ariel Atom, pull the lame GM Ecotec 4-banger out and replace it with an AC-150 Drivetrain from AC Propulsion (you remember them; they make the T-Zero) and what do you get? 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds and a ride that shows you what it must feel like…

That's amazing! Now if only they could design an electric car that didn't look like one.

If you don't like the trailer, I imagine they'll have a 50 mile extension cord available soon.
