I don't generally like American cars, they're mostly woeful. But Tesla is different, innovative engineering. Have a look at their new Roadster, the fastest car in the world. The acceleration you see in this short video is real (0-100 in 1.1 to 1.9 seconds). Also has 1000km range, and will do over 400 km/h. Obviously a top-end supercar (though hundreds of thousands cheaper than other supercars), but you can buy an ordinary Tesla for less than it costs to buy a Toyota Hilux, Australia's most popular car. And prices are still dropping, and will keep dropping.
