Don't know if anyone heard about this yet:
Joining the Electric Car craze is the Optimal Energy Joule, a South African developed electric car.
If the car vaguely reminds you of the Jaguar XJ220, that's because it's been penned by the same person, namely Keith Helfet.
Not too much detail is known yet, but Wikipedia has some.
