No offense to the trail blazing Hybrid from Toyota, but somehow it doesn’t quite match up to the $98,000 starting price, 139mpg equivalent, 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds roadster from Tesla Motors that is now officially in production after many months of rumor.

Not that it’s going to do you any good… they’ve already sold out the initial production run, and they’re taking deposits for the 2009 wait list!

If you’re wanting to go “green” but you’re worried about the damage to your street cred then this is a great sign that in the coming years you won’t need to compromise. Now all we need is an all electric Ferrari to be reviewed on Top Gear and we know the new era is here…
