Range: 75 miles before needing a recharge

But you’ll get there in a half hour

Three of its motors power the front wheels, with four connected to the rear, providing a stunning 2,300 pounds of downforce.

Almost stopped reading there. Downforce has nothing to do with horsepower or torque. Rather, it is a function of aerodynamics and speed.

“ providing a stunning 2,300 pounds of downforce.”

The reporter means torque lbs at the wheels?

Ok...that’s one of the coolest car videos I’ve ever seen.

They might need to rename it the Mustang DitchFinder, though.

I don’t care if it’s got 10,000 horsepower. Young guys aren’t going to want a car like that unless it’s loud enough to annoy the hell out of old people. j/k

57kW is equal to 76 HP. Am I missing something here?

Huh? Am I so old that I don't get what rear downforce is? Race cars want down force in the front to keep them from flipping over or going airborne. Is this another stupid writer who doesn't know what torque is? I'm confused.

That is one cool video. Drive it like that and you will need new tires about every 1/4 mile though.

Will it get me faster to the grocery store than my 1957 Chevy Bel Air? Which is paid for.

a "test bed for new materials."

Used the hatchback of my Spirit of America Vega for just that purpose.

Had a tough time getting some of those new materials off the fake carpet.

I have an electric Mach E hot rod! lol....

I see these things as appliances more than cars. Of course I came from an era where people built and fabricated their own custom cars and were always making changes. Now it’s just an appliance. Pay money to dealer and go....That’s it!
