I’ll put good money on it being both faster to 60 and across the quarter-mile than a P100D.

I’m one of the biggest Tesla fans you’ll ever meet, but this thing will be massively faster than a Tesla. And everything else on the road, to boot.

Point.

There’s talk of them “resurrecting an old franchise”, and Miyazaki got his start with AC, so there's real potential that it'll happen.

Holy shit, you’re in the greys on Jalopnik? How could you be laid so low, after the fall of Gawker?!
