And that's what makes this car able to do the things it does, without a gas guzzler tax and returns fantastic gas mileage when being used as a comute vehicle.

Remember, the design criteria for this car going in are "the most extreme performance in the most affordable package in the world - period".

And they delivered exactly that.

Supercar abilities in an affordable, reliable, robust, daily driver package
But they could have made it quicker and still return the same MPG by sticking a 6 speed in it
they could've broadened out 2-4th as well
