Range: 75 miles before needing a recharge

But you’ll get there in a half hour

Three of its motors power the front wheels, with four connected to the rear, providing a stunning 2,300 pounds of downforce.

Almost stopped reading there. Downforce has nothing to do with horsepower or torque. Rather, it is a function of aerodynamics and speed.

“ providing a stunning 2,300 pounds of downforce.”

The reporter means torque lbs at the wheels?

Ok...that’s one of the coolest car videos I’ve ever seen.

They might need to rename it the Mustang DitchFinder, though.

I don’t care if it’s got 10,000 horsepower. Young guys aren’t going to want a car like that unless it’s loud enough to annoy the hell out of old people. j/k
