Goodness me, for an electric car, it's beautiful...
Discussion
Only 150ps, 300nm of torque and 0-60 in about 9 seconds, but damn, this is gorgeous.
Just a shame its £37 grand!
Still, it makes a change from what every manufacturer seems to do these days, and just do a facelift instead of a new model. Its also good to see electric technology coming on a bit (although personally i still think its pointless, as the power still comes from the plug which comes from the oil/coal etc, but that's another story).
Much better looking than a leaf.
Also, i've never even seen/heard of this car until just now, with the irony being i was searching the VX website for a VXR8...

"Beautiful" and "gorgeous" are not words I would have chosen to describe that car's appearance, but hey, I have been blessed with the gift of vision
IMO, it is dated looking from the back, far too slab sided, and the front is way too try hard. Striking yes, beautiful or of any significant design merit? No.
Nonetheless, I simply cannot understand why the asking price is so high. It surely can't cost 17k to fit some batteries and electric motors to a conventional car, can it? Other than that, I do like the idea of a range extender for daily duties

I don't understand why all the manufacturers seem to think that if a car has an electric engine, they are duty-bound to give the car a whole new radical design. I don't remember this happening with diesel when the first DERVs appeared.
