According to Ukyo Katayama, a professional driver, Eliica is a real monster with quite a different accelaration capability.

That car looks like a spaceship! I want it *o*

well, the vehicle looks great. it is a very long vehicle. my project is to design a small car. and the performance in terms of BHP is limited. so the vehicle does not accelerate very quickly. why does an electric car need to be fast, maybee it can just look great and be very economical to the point that it costs almost nothing to run?

Totally agreed.

A J toy maker, TAKARA, produces lovely electric cars named Q-car. The price range is from 6500 to 8500GBP.
The point is that the Eriica project and TAKARA are not from traditional auto giants.

I suppose that people who buy the car own another eco-unfriendly cars, though...
