CraigHew Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not very practical for a trip to the shops but here's a racing car that's just set a new world record for an electrically powered 0-60 time. http://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/students-have-built-electric-car-thatll-do-0-62mph-15s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Should be good for a sprint or hill climb car and very Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 have to wonder if the battery lasts long enough for a full sprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welly Jen Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Requires four AA batteries (not included). My sums say it averaged 1.8G acceleration to reach 60mph in 1.5s, so not in to fighter jet territory, but still very fast. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I wonder why it has to have that red light on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelpsa Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I wonder why it has to have that red light on top To show that it's on and the batteries are not isolated. Get down to Silverstone weekend after next to see these things in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
