Check this out. Although it's silent I have been told you can specify a noise sound track to your taste. Looks a bit like an Aston. I gather it will be at the London motor Show

Bob - I was thinking that it looks better than the Invicta that it was based on (I believe)..

and then realised that there is not a single picture of an actual car .. just CGI shots.

Perhaps Electric will be the future of the sports car.

Hmmm...like steam trains to diesel, maybe ?

Don't see many train-spotters these days though.

I suspect their 2.2p/mi running costs are a bit suspect. Tyres alone will eat that up. Then there's the life of the battery pack and the cost of the leccy.

...on the radio yesterday:

Apparently Auto Express have done thorough and objective testing of all of the so-called 'eco-friendly' vehicles, and the majority (if not all) were found to be LESS eco-friendly than conventional vehicles, in real-life conditions.
