amazing 8 wheeled electric car

" What’s ugly as can be, has 8 wheels, and goes from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.2 seconds? It’s Eliica, the $260,000 electric-powered vehicle built by the Keio University in Tokyo. Eliica has been around for a while, but it’s state-of-the-art as it uses nothing but Li-Ion batteries for power and can achieve a top speed of 230mph with a range of 185 miles (obviously not at top speed). For a bit of flair, Eliica even sports gull wing doors. Obviously a case of excess in every way, but it’s interesting to see what can be done with a little know-how and a lot of money. More details can be found on Eliica’s official bog, provided of course you can read Japanese. "

this thing can eat a porsche 911/turbo even if its 500k heavier D:

Why not just go get a Tesla?

They're all electric, get to 60 in 3.9 seconds and only cost $109,000. They look a lot nicer too.

Thats because it has an independent motor for each wheel. I've seen this car before I don't like the design of it but its fucking luxury on wheels.
