Reaction: “That is one DANG LONG extension cord!”

Range: 75 miles before needing a recharge

But you’ll get there in a half hour

And FAT TOO!..............

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.

Finally a use for all that old Bus & Tag cable in IBM warehouses!

Let me know when it has 15-second pit stops... ;-)

That shot makes it look evil. :)

Super magnets are fun

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

The reporter means torque lbs at the wheels?

[mylife]

Yes it reads like bull smoke

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

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

“downforce” ???

Understand torque much? ;-)

[SunkenCiv]

Up a smidge.

First thing I saw as well. That’d one BIG rear wing, eh?

[LibWhacker]

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

[Blueflag]

LOL. I remember those ;-) From when you REALLY needed a raised floor and chilled water.

[Huskrrrr]

Ready for the 24 minutes of Le Mans.

We used ‘em on air-cooled as well (43XX series). :)

Isn’t tread drift fun :)
