Rimac looks like a mix of a Jaguar/Peugeot front, a Audi/Lamborghini back (glass engine cover) and the back is like a Corvette.

I do look forward to the future, normal cars to hypercars running on batteries.

I would love to see this up against a Koenigsegg and a Bugatti.

How are the Formula E cars going?
Do they have endurance and handling?

Handling usually better since center of gravity is way lower because battery sits lower than the gas engine...

they dont have endurance because when Formula E cars pit, the driver jumps into a second car.

Theres a reason why these electric cars have no nurburgring times, because they cant complete a single lap being driven 10/10ths.

2800 ft lbs of torque?

Tell me that is a typo...? That's insane if that is true.

What are teh official numbers on it? 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, 60ft. etc.?

Can't find anything online about it.
