On second thoughts  yes you're right ! they don't have a product do they ,they  only have a concept , mmm , now I am all confused

Why on earth are they spending so much money on a concept that has no merit ?? in it's Zero emission ambition  ,

Well normally when you ask such questions the answer is money , so begs the question who is paying what to who ??
The other one lap demonstration , the Subaru Lap , brings in a six figure sum ,  so what does the Zero Lap bring in ??



Be careful when making such comments  - "What to who etc" please, as this could be construed in a court of law as being potentially libelous.

Eddy, it is there money, and they can spend it anyway they please. They are developing electric vehicle technology ( flawed in my opinion, unless they are designing/testing/evaluating there own electric motors). They have been given a platform on which to do this by the IOM Goverment ( again flawed in my opinion on the green issue). The Goverment think the Zero TT brings in kudos, ( again flawed in ... oh it doesnt mater)
The only thing that the Subaru lap and the Zero TT have in commen, is a lot of people dont want to see them at the TT, but the problem with that analogy is there is also a lot of people who do want to see them at the TT.
