This comparison is between 4 electric cars. The first is the Wrightspeed X1, based off the Atom, this car will sadly never be put into production. Second is the AC Propulsion's tzero. Several parts of this vehicled made it into both the Wrightspeed and the Tesla Roadster. Third is the Tesla Roadster. This car is the most readily available to the public due to its realitivly low cost, and its larger production. Last but not least we have the Venturi Fétish. This car is on the Forbes 10 most expensive cars of 2006, coming just behind the CCR. Well, which is best?
