*chuckle* Add the Tesla Model S (broke-the-rating-scale) to that list.

The handling should be similar to the race car. The cabin is far back from the front wheel, and the mechanicals are packaged around the rear axle, so it should be pretty good. Frontal and offset crash ratings should be good, but I'd worry about the small overlap test, since that might expose some vulnerability in the cabin crash structure by bypassing the front end completely!
