If this thing becomes a real product, well, it might sell.

Wow. That doesn't look anything like Daniel's Xebra.

350 mile range and freeway speeds does it for me.

Of course, I'd also have to be able to afford it.

OMG, that's an SUV I'd go for. Now if only they will price it affordably so the average-joe could buy one. And one day when I win the lottery, I want a Tesla roadster! Woo!

...ok Starbug, time to stop dreaming.... *sigh*

If they can deliver that car with those specs, I will buy one as long as the price below or around 100K €.

But how will they achieve the 10 min. recharge? I guess not at home...

I talked to a guy that will be selling this car when it becomes available, and he said price should be in the $45-50,000 range. and available within a Year? (if i can remember right)

I actually would drop the Prius and my Lancer to get this baby. this is a dream.!!!!

Why do people keep posting this garbage??? There are several threads already about Zap's basic business plan, which is to announce impossible, non-existent cars, in order to boost its stock price and make money by trading in its own stock.

COME ON PEOPLE!!! This is bull. The Xebra is the only thing Zap has ever brought to market, and it's a fluke.

That would be a real bargain for a crossover that can leave a Porsche Cayenne Turbo in the dust as far as acceleration is concerned...

I am currently thinking of replacing my Volvo XC70 by a BMW X5 3.0sd, but maybe I should wait a little longer. Of course, I need to figure out how I can use this car for a 2000km holiday.

EDIT: Daniel, I read your reply right after posting this. Now you spoiled my day! Perhaps I should keep looking for that X5...

I'd dump my Prius for a lot less than this. I'd settle for 1 seat, no cargo space, 55mph max on an incline, and a 100mile range on a full charge. At anything less than $45k.

You should have bought the RAVev when they were available. One charge goes to 120 miles, Sold or leased for $45k plus CA offered tax back credit of $36k to the owners. ! Drove those RAVev at 75~85 mph comfortably ....

How about $45k for 200 miles, five seats, 100mph and 0-60 in under six seconds? That's something that can be a reality from Tesla Motors. This Zap... not so much.

If you look around, you'll find folks who will be selling perpetual motion cars in the very near future too. :sigh:
