Right, it's on. I... think. There's no noise at all, but anyway. Put it into drive -- [it] has a one-speed gearbox. They tried it with a two speed but that kept breaking. So one it is. We're in drive and I'm ready.

[The Roadster pulls away from the Elise]

God almighty! Wave goodbye to dial-up and say hello to the world of broadband motoring! Twelve and a half thousand RPM, I could not believe this! That's biblically quick! This car is electric! Literally!
