...company's real test will come when it rolls out an ambitious new lineup of vehicles starting later this year. First up will be the much touted Viper sports car (price: $50,000), due by December.

It uses little oil. And it gets 120 miles with each fill-up. Miles ahead of its time, the Impact is an electric car that runs on 32 10-volt batteries.
