The Elise is a bit of an extreme example. If I could swap my 350Z for something with 50bhp and 300kg less (similar fun with better economy and tax band) without it being a crazy, stripped out, bootless wonder, I'd go for it.

Isn't that pretty much what an MX5 is?

Nissan says it wants to achieve a 25 percent share of the total EV market by 2018. Surely they want to sell more than a couple of hundred cars a year.

Reminds me of a TVR Grantura or more so of the comic drawings with huge wheels that are sold on every motor show.

For photos of an electric car you would have thought they would have ‘lost’ the electric cable hanging out of the back, have they not heard of photo shop.

Or is that it, for range read how ‘much cable do you have’!!

not too keen on the front end, but the rear looks hot

Man that thing is cool, stick the GTR engine in it :P

I like this one and I can see a future for EVs. But please let people choose what they want to drive and don't try to force new technologie by forbiding old one. When the time is right and the technologie is established, we will automatically drive EVs. But please don't take our old, lovely, 20th century, petrol munching cars away!!!!!
For commuting I'd buy an EV straight ahead, but I do want a 'proper' car when I want to drive and not only arriving.

Looks funky enough. I like those seats, same couldn't be said bout them shiny show-off alloy wheels though

[mybrainhurts]

Stop this elecfrappery immediately...

Dont know why but it reminds me of this http://www.smartsrus.com/images/roadster/Roadster-...

[Wadeski]

when everyone said "we want a small light RWD coupe!" did everyone jump out of their hot hatches and buy Smart Roadsters? Nope. People SAY they want enthusiasts cars.

people BUY compromises.

Good heavens. PH'ers asking for cheaper piston-less cars

We need a new site name. "Battery Heads - Lithium Matters" doesn't sound quite as appealing

If it had been 1988 and 3 times as many we would be Okay by now.

Ah well at least some of the green movement has admitted their mistakes over nuclear.

It's a real shame that a lot haven't.

Take the Green party, most of their policies are pretty sensible, apart from their environmental ones.

As for NVH of RWD 4-pots; NISSAN.. WE DONT CARE! Put a 250bhp turbo 4-banger in a SMALL RWD car that handles properly and we'll all buy it.

Elise sales would probably imply the opposite. Everyone wants to want a noisy lightweight RWD car, but I think very few people actually want one.

Yeah perhaps- but the car i'm thinking of is between the elise and the 370Z in size. So not an out-and-out lightweight.

Me likey this a lot...



1000kg, RWD and great looks. If well priced with a slightly better range, say 250-300 miles 'd buy one for my daily car, definitely.
