Default George Clooney is the 1st owner of a Tango (elec. car)

Check it out:



http://www.commutercars.com/

George Clooney took delivery of the first Tango T600 here in the states. Personally if I could afford the $85,000 sticker I would too

Nothing like pulling up to a Viper at a light with an electric car & smoking him off the line.

If people aren't familiar with the tango here's a little info:

Quote:
The Tango is a glimpse into the future of commuting. Lane doubling, lane splitting, and perpendicular parking will become commonplace. Traffic-induced headaches and lost time will fade into the past. No more worries about safety as you're ballasted for flat-out cornering stability and protected by a racing-certified roll cage designed to protect you and your passenger. Park in places you wouldn't even dream of in a Mini Cooper. Emission-free and exciting, the electric Tango T600 is designed to beat most sports cars in the quarter mile with acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4 seconds and a top speed of 150 miles per hour!
There are videos & photos at the site. I highly reccommend you check it out.

Plus they are planning more practical versions of the tango at $39K & $19K
