Wow.
I just saw one of these for the first time, parked across the street from Ventura's main post office. Its very impressive in person. The Audi R8 had been my favorite modern sports car for several years, but I think I have a new favorite ... and its a hybrid! I didn't have a camera with me, so I ripped the picture below from the internet. The car I saw was white, just like the one pictured below.
Here's some specs:
