More 2,000 HP Electric Vaporware. How many of these things are going to get "announced" before one goes into actual production and customers start seeing cars?

Tick, tick, tick.....

Also, weird that they are announcing that they are "aiming" for "Sub 3.0 seconds to 100kph". That's some serious sandbagging right there.

As long as they keep all the parts to restore it back, why not? And they'll be preserving those parts. Meanwhile, they'll be driving the car more often since it will be fast.

Bumper sticker: "Saving the planet AND the gearbox".

On the other hand, it's an expensive conversion.

Really, really not:

Honestly, these things are cool, but what they're proving to me is that 1. There are too many rich guys and 2. The EV technology is expensive. Much more palletable to go *****-out and sell a $1M plus car than to try to grind out profits on a sub $50k one.
