It's safe to say that the Asfané Charlotte Roadster is the only electric supercar on sale today with a built-in fish tank. The speedy EV was designed by Frangivento, a small Italian automaker. It is said to pack a 70-kWh battery which powers four electric motors. Total power output is 885 ponies. That's enough to move the 3,300-pound supercar from 0-60 mph in under 3.0 seconds.
Now how the fish in the tank react to such speed remains to be seen. The tank itself is located behind the driver and passenger's seat. It's not very large and seems to only be able to hold small fish. How the tank is cleaned remains to be seen. Given its unique look, performance, and in-car aquarium you'd expect the Asfané Charlotte Roadster to not come cheap. You'd be correct in that assumption as Frangivento is asking $1.6 million for its supercar.
