Electric motors provide huge torque hence the suitability to great gimmicky videos like this, but like Redlyne there isn't a place in my vehicle fleet for one anytime soon!
Here is the thing: Do that 5 times in a row and the 4C will win 4 of them. The first run takes the "top" off the battery.
Yea, but so what? 1. You have to drive that ugly Tesla to win a 30 second race. 2. Lets run a 15 lap race at Road America! I'll walk the last lap.
No electric car made today is profitable, sure they are cute and all. Industry insight is that there is not enough consumer interest in them. Hybrids are backsliding also in sales. Sure save the planet, pay now or later.
