The i3 can be ordered with an engine too.  Not sure if it actually 'drives' the car or provides a generator capability.  I do know it adds about 100 miles to the maximum range.

Was going to have a look at one next month.....but the events of the last couple of days have rather changed all plans that may have existed... :(

It's great looking. They used it in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol film I believe.

Love it.  As a 2 door sportscar it ticks so many gadget boxes for me its unreal.  Loooove the doors!  Though at the price they want for it, a Porsche GT3 would do nicely thank you very much.  People who give a sh*t about the environment enough to want to splurge nigh on 100k after options are surely in short supply?  I'd rather hoon about in the Gt3 than do the whole Tron thang.
