BRUSA Spyder/550 Spyder – Strong Family Resemblance
The folks at AutoblogGreen have the scoop on the this little electric Spyder built by BRUSA. I agree with them it has a strong family resemblance to the old Porsche 550 Spyder. Beck Spyders make great electric conversions. They sell these replica cars with or without motors and the layout is perfect for placing batteries front and rear. The original 550 Spyders are extremely rare, collectible, and very expensive so building one from a replica like a Beck makes a lot of sense.

AutoblogGreen gets the first drive of the Tesla Roadster!
The day has arrived, and its a wonderful day. Automotive journalists in the seat of the all electric Tesla Roadster. Great article and review at AutoblogGreen and the car sounds like a success albeit a bit spartan a la Lotus Elise. They also help the reader get a very good idea of how different it is to drive an electric sports car. Unlike a ‘normal’ car the Tesla will have a single gear and the electric motor’s massive torque is available from zero to 6000 RPM. In other words when you stop on the accelerator the car takes off and doesn’t quit, jerk, or shift until it hits maximum speed. I’m looking forward to many more reviews and I hope the rest of the automotive press is as impressed as the folks at AutoblogGreen.
