AMP Motorworks - Saturn Sky - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I was in Washington DC earlier this month. Was walking to a meeting, and saw this pulled up outside the Longworth building. As I had a few minutes, I went over for a closer look. The only thing that was odd about it was that there were a few people standing around it and looking at it.

It's not exactly a Tesla Roadster, but it was pretty cool. Other than the badges, it looked 100% stock from the outside and the interior. Got a chance to look under the hood and crawl around it a bit. Those bits didn't look stock!

From what I heard and read, it'll probably not make it. Only 150 miles per charge and top speed of 90mph isn't wonderful. But, performance should be pretty good. Being an electric, it has all torque all the time. That would be nice while doing an autox. And, the weight is about the same as a standard Sky.
