Toyota's Volta sports car that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds and gets around 32 mpg.

Isn't that amazing!

I hope it's affordable.

4. Bad ass looking car
Reminds me of the cars I used to draw as a kid. I was a big Lamborghini Countach fan back in the 70's. It definately looks like a Bertone influenced design.

6. I have a Lamborghini Countach
A Matchbox, that is. What were you thinking?

And yes, this looks kinda like a "round Countach".

12. Out of the back, who cares?
Only thing you're looking for in a car like that is blue lights.
