Car question

I have seen a few fisker Karmas on the road recently and they are pretty cool. Are they hybrid or fully electric. Also, a Mclaren store just opened up right next to where I live looks pretty sweet only thing I noticed from driving by is an Indy car on display.

That's no Indy car on display. That's an f1 car, the highest performance race cars on earth.

The frisker is a plug-in hybrid.

If you want to have some fun, go into the Fisker dealership and ask them about their cars "bricking".

I don't know if vanilla is the right word but it certainly isnt that good looking for a super car, especially since the 458 came out. Similar profile but when compared to the 458 it's just kinda "meh".

Also, if a super car isnt gorgeous, it should be a little crazy looking like a Lamborghini or a Pagani.

The Ascari is balls-to-the-wall performance, but I don't find it very pretty.
