Newest electric sports car>?

Question

any news on any new electric sports cars coming out? I know the zap-x is due to come out soon, and the roadster is still on wait list. any other fast electric cars coming out in the near future?

I have seen china coming out with LOTS of little plastic cars. Mostly going less then 80mph top speed, and roughly 100miles top distance. Its good to see things are improving, and I cant wait to see what comes out next. Hopefuly the tesla roadster's price will drop dramaticly, or a newer car that has all the same specs or beter will come out, and be half the price XD *heres dreaming*

Answer 1

Well tesla is planing on coming out with something currently code named WhiteStar.

"The WhiteStar is being designed as a high performance electric sedan, competing with such cars as the BMW 5-series."

"Initial pricing is estimated at $50,000 for the standard model or $65,000 for a premium model with greater performance and range."

"car will be likely revealed to the public in the first half of 2008... I personally cannot wait to see if it is true.

Available in California in October 2008, the Aptera typ-1e will cost about $27,000 with a top speed of 95 mph and range of 120 miles per charge.

Soon thereafter Aptera will introduce the typ-1h, a plug-in hybrid version of the typ-1e with a 40-60 mile range on purely electrical energy, and a range of over 600 miles total when in electric/gas hybrid mode, for around $30,000.  On a 120 mile trip, the typ-1h will get 300 miles per gallon.  The shorter the trip, the higher the efficiency.
