    Did I miss it, or did they not mention why it has eight wheels?

    Also, in the additional photos, you will notice that there are conventional-looking keys dangling from the steering column. Interesting for an electric car.

    More power!
    All 8 wheels have their own wheel motor (60kw X 8 ).

    Cool. So now that they can do all electric 0-60 in neck breaking time, I want to see it in a mid-size 5 or 6 passanger car that takes 1 hour max to recharge. I wouldn't need 400 kph or 0-60 in 4 seconds so my request doesn't seem unreasonable. :)

    I was going to put in a jab about having to use the remote to lock the car at the end of the movie, until it was shown parking itself :)
