did anyone get to see the new show on discovery channel, it was pretty cool, they had this car on there, it was a fully electric car, but it did 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, thats faster that a porsche carrera gt!!, it wasnt the pretiest car but it looked much better then the honda insght or toyota prius, lol, they had some pretty cool stuff on there.

I watched a bit of it.. Only car I saw thought was that fit/yaris looking thing where the interior can move up or back 15 inches if in a crash. You could also just take the steering wheel off and place it on the right side if you wanted to drive on either side... Wish I saw more of the show

I think I heard about that a while ago, but the steering moved electronically to the other side of the car. There is no mechanical connection to the steering rack. I believe it was called the hywire or somthing.
