Get Your Next Exoticar at Sam's Club

Most often, retailers of high-performance, exotically styled limited-edition production cars sell their vehicles through a small number of exclusive dealers. Vehicles like that depend on snob appeal and prestige to command their huge prices. But all that might be as old as the conventional gasoline engine. Hybrid Technologies Inc., a company that considers itself among the leaders in the development and marketing of lithium-powered products, has taken an entirely different tack with its exotic electric-powered “Super Car.” The car will be marketed through an exclusive offer with Sam's Club, the members-only warehouse division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that, to our knowledge, does not sell members-only jackets.

Designed to provide maximum excitement and performance, the eye-catching Super Car is said to be capable of reaching a top speed of over 150 miles per hour and can vault from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds. If you’re worried that you’ll run out of juice, rest assured that an expanded drive range of 200 miles on a single 110v or 220v charge makes the lithium-battery-powered vehicle a top performer in alternative fuel transportation.

The first-off-the-assembly-line example of the long-anticipated Super Car is being featured in the in the Sam's Club 2008 Annual Gift Guide, and online as a “Once In A Lifetime” package. If you’d like to pony up the 100 grand that will get you into the chi-chi club of Super Car owners, you better sign up from Sam’s Club membership because otherwise you’ll be on the outside looking in.
