Electric vehicles may be ugly, but they can scoot - Click HERE for Original Thread

Evidenced by the Eliica concept brought to this years Tokyo Motor Show by Keio University.

Yes, it's ugly. Now that we've got that out of the way, it's time for the important part. Numbers.

0-100kph 4.1 seconds
0-160kph 7.0 seconds (We're talking tens here)
top speed 370kph

And that's for a 5291 lb heavyweight. So yes, it's one of the worst looking cars since the Citreon SM, but it has great implications on where we'll be going with sport transportation over the next 10-15 years.

8 wheel drive...serious burnout potential...LOL

An electrical torque motor is only limited by the amount of power applied to it. The trick has always been to produce the power we want.

in the future we will all be comparing how many brushes out alternators have, and how large the cells in our batterys are...

i can't wait... Electritians will rule the tuning world!!

w00t!

To me it looks like a modern/futuristic version of this classic Citroen:

That's actually one of the reasons I said, "worst looking cars since the Citreon SM", because it does have the classic Citroen style. Which isn't a good thing. :D

And with 8WD, you'd get whiplash before you got wheelspin.

saw this on discovery channel as well, very fast.

I wanna see someone drift that Mother F&%$er:p

I wonder if you could get brain damage from when it slams into the back of your skull. Imagine the G's when you put that much torque to that many tires.
