I own a Froggy, so have some idea of what you're getting at. Could swear there's a hidden battery somewhere in it that powers a sympathetic oscillator that gives it extra energy.
But at their base, both the F1 car and the Civic are still "Cars:' a powered 4-wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. (Although we do have to account for that 6-wheeler that Tyrrell raced) Then may then be further subdivided by use. SUV. Smart Car. Ragtop. Grocery-getter. Or by power.

Is the Tesla the automotive equivalent of the electric guitar?

I like your battery analogy. Now, add a second one and soup it up just a tad more? And keep in mind that I LOVE my Froggy?
