    what a sweet looking ride.



    Well here's a shock: a good looking British sports car (sorry Lotus). This is the Lightning GT, and instead of guzzling super unleaded it creates 700 horsepower using batteries.

    Or so the Lightning Car Company claims. But we'll leave off being cynical for a moment (don't worry, it is only for a moment) and continue telling you just how good this thing looks. It is all classic GT: long hood, low curving roofline, and massive multi-spoke alloy wheels, complete with a major surprise.

    I think that those hub mounted motors will be the norm sooner or later.

    yeah no crap. if i could have a module that reproduces the awesome sound of an Aston DBR-9 for my car, i'd never do anything to my car ever again.
