Corvette meets Aston Martin? British 700 hp electric car.

The Lightning GT includes a “sound module” so the electric car will emit a throaty roar if the ego demands it.

It looks great, but I am skeptical. There is no way they can create that machine without it being very expensive.

700 hp all wheel drive, 0-60 in 4. Must be extremely heavy, considering the torque that those electric motors put out

The whole 'sound module' thing that 'emits a throaty roar' seems kinda rice. Other than that though, nice car.

I had a good nose at this at the weekend - it's BIG but also very attractive! I like it - be interesting to see what it can do.
