Dymag wheels on the world's quickest electric car
How would you like to have a car that not only gets 170 MPG but can also go from 0 to 60 in just 3 seconds? Ian Wright, a former Cisco engineer has built such a car and bested both a Ferrari and Porsche on the race track
In the first race the X1 beat a Ferrari 360 Spyder in both an 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile race winning the later by two car lengths. The second race against Germany's fastest street car the Porsche Carrera GT was a little closer with the X1 only winning by a half of car length. The driver of the Porsche Kim Stuart said "It never occurred to me that I would lose. It was like a light switch. He hit the pedal and was gone."- via Gear6
More specs, details, and a video at Wrightspeed, the maker of the X1.
