"The magazine reports instant 0.8 G acceleration"
"This one can go at around 400 kph, accelerate up to 60 mph in 4 seconds (that's faster than a Porsche 911) and touch 100 mph in 7 seconds."
Take a look at it

What the hell is this!! It looks like a modern Citroen DS, but horrid. Wouldn't drive that if it was the last thing on earth.

A range of over 200 miles!?
I had a Fiat Uno Turbo that didn't have that range!!

It is surprisingly heavy. Remove half the wheels, tone down the performance for normal driving, and you would surely get a much better range, and a much lighter vehicle. This would be a very sellable car ... were it affordable. I bet that is the catch.
Much better than silly hydrogen cars which require hard to obtain and store hydrogen, which itself is a greenhouse gas.

According to an Auto Express article in 2004 it would cost £170k if this were put into production. With that sort of performance that would be cheap - at Nardo it did about 230mph and they claim it could reach 250mph! That's Veyron type speed for a fraction of the cost.
Okay it's ugly but the technology itself obviously works. A four wheel version would have about 400bhp (the in-wheel motors are 100bph each).
And as for the range... again how far does a Veyron go on a full tank?

No idea why you need 8 wheels, unless you design Foden trucks. Even less idea why you would deliberately design something so graceless. I predict its disappearance without trace.

AutoExpress covered this in 2004... so it's already disappeared. I guess 8 wheels because they wanted to use 8 x 100bhp motors.
