Hell, the Tesla Roadster goes 0-60 in 3 seconds and gets 400 miles per charge. I'm just too big to fit in it comfortably.
Sorry, but have to clarify simply to keep this from becoming internet fact.

From Tesla's own website, the car can go from 0 - 60 in 3.7 seconds and has a 245 mile range. And I think the 245 is on a flat road with no headwind, meaning optimal conditions. I haven't read a review yet that got close. Even on Top Gear, driving hard mind you, they only got 50 miles.

But you are correct on the size. I think it is essentially a Lotus chassis and underbody and that is a very small car.
