I'm guessing this was taken at St. Armand's Circle in Sarasota, Florida? They get a lot of car gatherings there. I suspect it's an organized thing, like a "cars and coffee" we have in my neck of the woods. As a car lover, I always enjoy wandering around a display of fine automobiles.

…yes, but do people gather around your car to admire while you fill up at the gas station? It is a trip…

How much fun would your family ev be at 176mph? You need high gearing for that type of speed - not good for 0-60.

Many years ago a friend had one of these cars. It had been imported and needed modifications and documentation to pass US regulations and requirements. He was terribly proud of it. I sat in the drivers seat and had a great view of the windshield top frame but not the road ahead! I was 6' 4" but my friend was 5" 10' and fit quite well. He enjoyed it briefly then moved it on to someone else. It was a "show piece" and he wanted a "driver." That MSRP indicates it has lost some of its original flavor. They were six figures in the "90's. Nice ride at any time.
