As I was recently crossing the border into Canada and checking my Speedo (meter, that is :-) ) for my kph speed, a question popped to mind. Does the E meter on the Elio show kph?

not currently

BIG NEWS! In the midst of this pretty naive interview, at 3:46 seconds in, Paul drops some new information: the Elio will hold 0.84 lateral G without busting loose! It's no Porsche, but the techies here will let us know just how good that is.

And one wonders when they did the road test to get that number -- or can it be simulated? Anyhow, that's the first handling performance number we've seen, so it's NEWS.

What a terrible interview... but agreed, nice to get new info. 0.84g on the skidpad is not bad. And Paul agrees with me that it is begging for a turbo, LOL.

Glad I could contribute to the trickle of info..

Not horrible .84 considering its 3 wheels on skinny tires

Actually I recall .84 lateral G was claimed many months ago. I think that number was from simulations.
