It looks like a cross between a Citroen and Lady Penelope's limo...

First thought was - how are they going to do 250mph with 4 x 80Hp motors but the article says an 80Hp motor per wheel. Doh, 8 x 80 Hp not 4 x ... so that's 640Hp and 8 wheel drive. So I guess traction won't be their biggest problem.

I hope the extension cord is long enough :!:
