What has eight-wheels, goes 230mph, and takes ten hours to recharge? Okay, yes, DildonoTron 9000—besides that. The Eliica electric car designed by Hiroshi Shimizu, is what, and Auto Express got to take one out for a ride. It's as ugly as sin, but it'll do 0 to 60 in just four seconds, powered by separate 100hp motors in each of its eight wheels. It's just a prototype, sadly, and will likely remain that way until they can figure out a way to produce one for less than a quarter of a million dollars.
