Oh, so it is still a concept and not fully created car. These electric car makers if they want to get serious need to make more reasonable, affordable cars. Dont get me wrong, that is a sick looking car, but an aston martin isnt a convient car for everyday use. The Ddesign isnt very origional either.

Hmm, 15000 dollar deposit for a car that the main site has no real pictures of. I would be surprised if they WERE a scam, but I am not getting to excited about it, A 15000 dollar deposit means it is going to be expensive.

According to the Lightning's web site(www.lightningcarcompany.com), it's not a 15,000 dollar deposit, but a 15,000 British pound deposit. Using Yahoo's currency converter, I found out that would be over $30,000 today here in the States.

Sorry Saab. I'm not trying to be a smart*ss, just trying to help.

I wonder what would win in a race, this or the Tesla Roadster... but dang, only a ten minute charge? that's kinda hard to believe.

Looks like a competitor to the Tesla Roadster. FYI, the car does exist, I wouldn't really call it a hoax.

ic....but the car in the cg has a diff emblem than the one in the above pic, im assuming the cg ones were not comisioned by the car maker, because if they were then u would have a very hard time knowing it was cg.

EDIT: the front is different too.
