Dancing with the Tangos
Mar 31st, 2009 by Mr.Burton
From the first time I saw the Tango, it was like love at first sight. Here was this car, an electric car, which was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. And for that, meeting the Tango will leave a lasting impression on me as an ideal form of transportation in an urban environment for an individual driver.

If you think its form is ugly then, by definition, you think its function of saving space, saving the environment, and saving time in commuting is ugly.
At least we can agree that the Tango is dancing for a good cause. However, considering the Tango gets the equivalent of over 100 mpg, it is a work of beauty. By that standard, most other cars don’t even compare.

It has 2500 lbs. of batteries below the Sparco racing seats so I’m fairly confident it would not blow over in a 40mph side-wind gust. A motorcycle, on the other hand, might be a different story.

Yikes! Are we sure this car won’t blow over in a 40mph side-wind gust?
