    0-160kmh in 6.8s (On Volts)

    Here I go again!!!! Check this out...

    0-160km/h in 6.8 seconds.
    0-160-0km/h in 11.2seconds

    Ian Wright, 51 and now living in Silicon Valley, has built a "proof of concept car" which can outrace Ferraris and Porsches and can be beaten in what is called the "zero-to-100mph-to-zero" test only by a US$1.4 million Bugatti Veyron.

    Seen it before. The problem isnt the speed with electric motors - its the distance. I think from recall the wrightspeed runs for about 1-2 hours on its batteries.

    What a terrible concept.

    The Tesla would be better, linky: http://www.teslamotors.com/index.php


    And you can get a kit that would fit any car basically that gives it 160 HP per wheel, in a mini here http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006...ybrid_mini.php, put that in that 800kg car he has used and whammo performance to match nearly. PLus ' total range of about 932 miles (1,500 km'

    I like the above idea as you could utilise a more efficient stirling engine rather than the traditional ICE to provide the battery boost when needed....

    I hear that The NZ version of that bike is still on the staging line , waiting for the reconnection man to show , it might take a while what with the backlog
