I&#8217;m sure that you have heard about the Chevy Volt, that runs in on all electric power.  Therefore, it is quieter than most cars.

BMW is actually planning on putting out an electric version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.  Personally, I don&#8217;t consider that a wise investment, as most people prefer to have their Phantom as a &#8220;showing&#8221; vehicle rather than a roadtrip vehicle.  Believe it or not, it might be out of the factory in 12 months. [...]]]></description>

Jay Leno has had this timed trial race with an electric car since his new show began, and I suppose that he is the perfect spokesperson for the electric Tango.  This car is designed to only take up half a lane, and is totally electric.
