    If its French, why is it right hand drive? Is it made in England or Japan?

    Cool idea, good for farmers as they always drive too slow on the highway anyway.

    The site says:
    "The car is a real 4WD with four motors, one for each wheel. The electricity is stored in the floor in 12 lead-acid batteries that store 48 V and 240 Amperes each."
    An "ampere" is a unit of electric current, specifically the amount of electric charge flowing through a circuit in one second. So that sentence is meaningless. What would have been useful is the kilowatt-hours of the battery. It shows (to me at least) that the author didn't know what he/she was talking about.
