Being that green design is becoming larger and stronger, what better way to say "green" than 1000 horsepower and 800 ft/lb torque. I'm sure many of us have heard of Tesla's electric super car, well this is it's competitor. According to Engadget the Areo EV is capable of "... 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds at a 208mph top speed. Compare that to the Tesla Roadster's 0-60 in 3.9 seconds (or 3.7 for the 2009 sport model)". To top it off its batteries have a 150-220 miles range which is accomplished with just a 10 minute charge on a 220v source, where as Tesla's car takes about 3.5 hours. It is expected to arrive in production in the fourth quarter of 2009.
