4. There's some reasons it outperforms a car like the Prius...
1) It's smaller and lighter than a Prius. It's got a carbon-fiber body, for cryin out loud. Let's just say it probably won't win any 5-star crash ratings.
2) It's literally all engine. Under the hood and in the trunk. Little or no cargo capacity.
3) It's got $100 thousand bucks of parts. Not exactly price-competitive.
I'm sure it makes a fine sports-car, but it's not like Toyota couldn't have made this car. Toyota made the Prius because they were trying to make a car that's both more useful and more affordable.
