My New Dream Car: The Tesla Roadster

Long awaited, the Tesla Roadster was unveiled today.
0-60 in 4 seconds (in first gear!)
Top Speed of over 130 mph
100% Electric
250 mile range between charges
135 mpg equivalent
Fully charges in 3.5 hours at home and comes with a convertor to recharge from any standard outlet while on the road.

Plus, it's freaking gorgeous.
Tesla worked in collaboration with Lotus, and the Roadster is based on a modified Lotus Elise platform.
