This Datsun is cool, and is definetly showing the potential of electric motors, but no electric motor is ever going to beat the sound of an engine.
Nice to see someone making a go of the electric idea. Still doesnt do it for me though
Is this still in the low eleven’s or has it gone quicker again
AWESOME!!!! Now they just have to get an electric motor to sound beastly…
what way does gearing work? 1 forward gear and one reverse?
or 2 forward on reverse! i know the tesla’s only have 2 forwards gears or something like that as one gear used to make shit of gearboxs!
its cool car an all but i dont much fancy the thought of rechargin a car every few races
love it. but would not go Electric till the power can last for a good 400 miles and can recharge in under 20min
