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.

meth0dical · 03-06-2008, 03:35 PM

it's not a concept, they've just started taking preorders for it. it will be in production soon enough if they havent already started.

runtohell121 · 03-06-2008, 03:38 PM

rather get a GTR instead.. lol >.< too expensive...

Jon · 03-06-2008, 03:45 PM

I feel this will be better in the hobbies section.

saab900 · 03-06-2008, 03:54 PM

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.

asuro · 03-06-2008, 04:04 PM

both images are cg....and the designs are complete rippoffs of aston martin....and the cg is not exactly pro qulaity so i doubt the validity of that car.

Alex · 03-06-2008, 04:11 PM

i never would of thought that electric cars could be so fast

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.

runtohell121 · 03-06-2008, 04:24 PM

it's fast.. but wont last long... and cost way too much...

PoN · 03-06-2008, 04:32 PM

That does look pretty cool

Im way in for this even how expensive it is! Save the world ftw!

shane · 03-06-2008, 04:40 PM

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.

lpxxfaintxx · 03-06-2008, 04:44 PM

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

shane · 03-06-2008, 05:05 PM

it would be interesting to see the two race, it'd be like a US vs. UK electric car thing. that'd be sweet!!

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.
