Go take a Tesla Model S out for a test drive. Completely electric, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, 118ft 60-0 stopping distance. Plus, batteries make up most of the weight and they are in the floor plan. Low centre of gravity makes handling superb (and no engine weight at front or rear).

Don't take my word for it, go test drive one. Of course, price tag is a little steep but the series 3 promises to be much cheaper and nearly as fast. You just have to wait a few more years.

Oh and it does the equivalent of about 90mpg and has a range of around 250-300 miles depending how and what type of driving. Super charger recharges the battery in about 40mins, better than my phone.

Come to think of it, would be a nice adition to RR3.
