How many Gs does one of those things pull? Too many Gs, if I remember correctly, and one blacks-out.

Looks like fun to clean the bugs off the front of.

What kind of tires do these things have? I remember muscle cars with just hundreds of hp and 0-60 in the 6 second range smoking them up.

Your ability to rapidly lose control also just accelerated.

Those DC motors have, like all DC motors, maximum torque when stalled.

I’m not impressed by 0-60 performance from an EV.

The Concept car:

But from the front it's pretty butt-ugly, IMHO.

Yes. And? It is the inherent characteristic of an electric motor to get 100% of it’s torque at zero rpm. A gas engine has to rev. None of this is unexpected for anyone with a smidgen of knowledge about electric motors.

The EV problems remain the same. Short range and long charging times. Bentley has done nothing to ease those problems.

If true, it looks like the 2,200-hp Deus Vayanne’s reign was short lived.

At least both can still fry eggs on the motor after a few seconds of acceleration.

Show of hands.

How many times do you get to put the spurs to such a car when you are following a rusty, smoking pickup, with a trailer hauling 6 weed whackers, 4 leaf blowers and two lawn mowers??

That’s an E-ticket amusement park ride, not a car!

Wow, impressive, but if you had that kind of scratch, you might as well put yourself on a Space X rocket.

Gearhead youtubers are salivating to make a video showing a large breasted, cleavage showing woman in the passenger seat going 0-60 in 1.5 seconds.

How heavy of a trailer can it pull and how far.
