In case you are wondering.. it's a Yamaha.. and its real!

"The Deus, powered by Doped NanoPhosphate batteries and ultra-capacitors, has an in-wheel motor that could supply ample torque to deliver a driving acceleration of 60 mph in 3 seconds. Recharge time is 15 minutes with a cycle time of 60 minutes, top speed, limited for now, at 75 mph." from the write up.

I didn't know anyone had actually built one. The Guy who designed it had just did the CG video. Cool.
