Sim-CEL has Tesla-quick performance, lasers for high beams, slug-like looks (photographs & video)

+ 324 km (201 mile) range
+ drag coefficient 0.199
+ 4 wheel drive
+ 0-100 km (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds 

- 2 seats
- non existent rear three quarter vision 
- carbon fibre & space frame chassis in this prototype will not translate economically into production
- excellent aerodynamics are unlikely to be compatible with a four door body
- excellent range is measured under the Japanese standard.  When measured under other standards, such as USA, British or Australian, results are unlikely to be as good.
