Back to electric cars... SSC (Shelby SuperCars) of USA have their Ultimate Aero EV coming this year. 1000hp and IIRC, around 3000lbs, that is quite a bit higher power/weight ratio than our powerful Bl R/C's, and it can actually put it down to the ground.

Funny thing you mentioned SSC. They did get funds from a company, but I have yet to see the car. I hope they can back what they're saying, it would be nice.

Yeah, would be nice... it's still a mystery as to what they meant at the first announcement about "several years between recharging" ?

Interesting. I initially wasn't going to check out that link - I had presumed this was a division of a Carol Shelby company - and how wrong I was....It seems very wrong to me for them to use that name, especially in this industry - but then I grew up in the Shelby glory days.

Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES

Ya, the guy who founded the company a few years ago, his name is Jared Shelby, no relation. They prefer to be known as SSC.

No one seems to know about SSC strangely, because they have the record for fastest road going production car.
