When Tesla introduced the Roadster, it was the only electric sports car in the market. Still is. And it is also the only electric car in the market of some luxury. But competition might be closer than expected.
Recently, Ondrej Jirec, a Czech designer, presented his design for the all-electric Maserati Tramontane.

The design is beautifully minimalistic, and has some clever ideas: the whole design is built around 'layers' that allow for the vehicle to have the lowest number of pieces, while adding to safety and storage capabilities. Perhaps most interesting of all is the use of three motors, a frontal one driving the front wheels, while the rear wheels are driven by two in-wheel motors. All electric.
Granted, it as of yet exists only as some renderings and a few drawings, but the level of attention this design has garnered from the press and cyberspace should serve as an indicator of what we might be seeing on the streets before too long.
