1. What are your thoughts on a fully electric hyper car?

2. If you were to dictate a design feature on a hyper car what would you add or change from and currently existing Electric/Hybrid cars?

3. How do you feel about 4 seater hyper car? Or do having extra passenger seats kill the supercar essence?

4. In your own opinion what makes a super car different from the rest sporty cars (besides the obvious performance)? As far as essence of the car, the design and the emotion behind it etc.

5. Would you own a fully electric hyper car if it were to match everything the current standing competition holds and more range? (Porsche 918, Pagani Hayura, Laferrari, Mclaren P1, Bugatti Veyron)

6. How does a 180k – 200k sound to you for a fully electric hyper car? What would you expect from it looking at its price?

The Tesla Model s has 4 seats, is fully electric and in "Ludicrous" Mode will touch 60mpg in ~3secs, and I believe it's around £100k. It's also reasonably rare and orders definitely outpace supply.

Does that not count as a hyper car? If not why not?
Outside of Tesla performance, my project is complete exterior design and with the weight reduction it will be a head of its models. the idea behind it the project is to make a mainstream hypercar, with teslas performance already keeping up with most sportcar and supercars all its left is a new look that fits the competition. also the 4 seats because there is a lot of space with the engine being so small and powerful maybe 4 seater but a coupe cabin, but i am leaning towards just a simple 2 seater.
