...but what a gas guzzler. It would take eight litres of fuel (premium, no doubt) to drive it once around the world. Sheesh! Roland Piquepaille has the details.

Meanwhile, Glenn Reynolds is linking to information on the more modest Tesla Roadster. He says he'd be willing to take one for free on a trial basis. Man, the sacrifices that guy is willing to make out of his love for the planet!

(Kind of reminds me of my efforts to save the blogosphere earlier this year.)
