Have we covered Simon Saba's Spider? Quote:
Down the hall from the showroom, in a tiny garage stall that's part of a business incubator, sits a small two-seater that, when finished in a few weeks, will be able to beat both cars off the line. The car is being built by the one-man startup company Saba Motors and is designed to sell for $40,000.
The Saba Spider is a sharp-looking roadster, but it looks nowhere near as impressive or intimidating as the two vehicles that it will one day be able to blow away. That's because the Spider is a different kind of car. With an aluminum frame, carbon-fiber body and other proprietary technologies I am not supposed to mention, the car weighs about as much as an old Schwinn beach cruiser. But what really makes the car fast is that the Saba is electric, driven by a motor about the size of a 3-gallon pail, powered by a bank of Thundersky lithium batteries.
Simon Saba, software engineer by day, revolutionary automotive designer at night and on weekends, is building the car because he believes he is living in a unique moment in history.
