Green Machines - The Electrum Spider Eccentric !

Next to the Tesla Roadster—the de facto benchmark among the new breed of electric sports cars—the Electrum Spyder is not necessarily a contender, but a solid alternative. This battery-powered two-seat hardtop convertible sports a very unique design. With the hardtop in place, the car resembles a fiberglass fish out of water. With the top off, the Spyder finds quite an attractive pose. Its performance cannot compare to the Tesla. The Spyder right now tops out at around 80-mph and makes it to 60 mph in seven seconds. It has a 150-mile range, and you can drive it home for about $60,000 price. I like the fact that there are more and more alternative cars coming to the market that are actually fun, cool and sport some sex appeal. The more the better and pretty soon these kind of cars will be able to shake the sticky "Birkenstock" stigma. Check it out!
