Default disscus O_o 700hp electric car

Will Lightning Strike in the UK? - MSN Autos discuss i personally dont belive its possible to many computers =to much that can go wrong if just one of them is out of sync plus the company says it still requires additonal funding still a bold idea i think

Looks pretty good, I find it odd that the company kept it quiet for so long. The "sound module" seems like a moronic idea in my book.

I doubt it lives up to its name, but hey, If it does I'd rock it.

Not going to happen. A 700hp electric motor is going to make several thousand ft-lbs of torque down low. 700hp is over 500,000W of power. That's a lot to draw, and will require lots of storage. That's also a lot of heat to cool down even at 90% efficiency.

Here are a few Prius electric motor specs (hey, it's on it's 3rd version):
HP = 67
TQ = 295
Battery weight = 100 lbs
Battery capacity = 1300 W/Hrs

Scale that up to 700hp and that's 3000ft-lbs of torque. Hook that up to a Prius battery and go full blast and it'll last a little over 9 seconds. Want to go longer, start adding up the 100 lb batteries. If they're using Lithium, improve your numbers by about 20-30%.
