True hybrid

This is an amazing car, I love the technology behind this car. It's xxxx fun to drive this car. The design outside is amazing, but inside is bit dull.

Car is stunning

Great looks, tech is beyond my capabilities, car runs great. Battery mode doesn't have much range but gets great mileage. Shipping company ran the battery down so car didn't like that very much.
