And when this car sells, that'll go down — to low billions upon billions.

That does not make sense.

I'd like to find out more info on this car. What chasis is it based on? Looks awesome, and sounds pretty sweet too.

AWESOME.

Thats amazing how those kids built that. Thats impressive for kids of that stature can building something that will hit speeds like a Ferrari, but drive forever without filling up the gas as a hybrid. I give them alot of props. But I know that the chassis, and body is a kit, and that they didnt actually build it. Because K1 builds those kits for people to buy.
