Mondo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Guess there's nothing that says a front wing has to be the close to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Overall nice design, but the grill needs some work. It looks like a very art deco appliance. Think Arvin portable electric heater from the 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersportsp Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 vaporware. Exactly. Their site is pretty sketchy. Their address is a condo building in a residential neighborhood. They have an east side phone number but a Seattle address. Good luck ever seeing your $$ again if you send them a deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunnyS1 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I agree , their claims seem very optimistic too, to put it mildly. "Vortex says that it is also planning a fully electric version of the F1, with a targeted weight of only 1,300 pounds. We'd gladly pit it against a Tesla Roadster in a drag race any day." Hmmm, the Tesla Roadster, ( clone Elise body), weighs in at around 800 pounds more than the Elise due to its battery packs et al, so how the hell can they expect to make their battery car at 100 pounds less than the conventional engined car ?

jimrankin Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Energiser Bunny has gone missing... last seen in the northwest.. How much can that Rabbit weigh? Probably about the same as a vapor battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
