Now to get the thinking caps on
Discussion
i drove the latest Tesla the other day.... sadly not the mega new 4 wheel drive saloon, but the two... my god was it fast!!!!!! pick up from zero upwards mind blowing even by our standards.
now its really got me thinking, with the new 1020hp Ultima
the Tesla weighs nearly 2 tonnes... and the rolling chassis is heavy on its own.
what if those batteries and 2 small electric motors were in an Ultima?
we are talking very low centre of gravity, 691 HP, 300 m range before charge... ok sadly no noise.. but imagine track days with no noise restrictions, being able to go into towns(about to ban cars out of cities) could it happen... is this the Evo 2?

Quick off the line, no doubt with all that traction & weight, but after 60 or 70 it has nothing. It can be taken by any hot 4 banger in the 1/4 mile
oh no its not.... it keeps going oh and 300 mile range now and upwards,,,, a driver near me gets 300 out of a charge... and when he gets to his destination... it charges while he is at a meeting or us guys, be while we are walking arround a show!!
