Technical Specs - 2008 Model Year
You might feel like you need an electrical degree to make heads or tails out of
the specs below. That's because no such car has existed before. We became
aware of this historic fact many months ago when attempting to pick up a chassis
prototype at San Francisco International Airport. The customs agent asked a simple
question that began a "Who's on First" kind of dialogue. What
kind of engine? None yet, we replied. How many cylinders? Zero.
There simply weren't the right boxes to check off on the form.
