    Bit of grunt yes!, but not very nice I dont think

    "450 watts / kg. Thus approximately 1200 kg of batteries. 1200 kg of battery + 4 engines of 85 kg more the car itself, we should be around 2,2 tons"

    "Torque
    Audi R-Zéro :
    For 1 electric in-wheel motor, Maximal torque : 183 Nm or 135 lb-ft @ 12900 rpm ;
    Requiring speed reducer : ¼.
    75.0 m/kg de couple par roue 735 Nm/542 lb-ft > 1 wheel
    300.0 m/kg pour 4 roues 2940 Nm/2168 lb-ft > 4 wheels"

    The torque bit confuses me a bit, but if that is 2940 Nm of torque then HOLY SH*T, that thing would move!!!

    Isn't this at the wheels after being geared down? If so significantly less than a 500nm car in first gear.

    if you want that much power why not just buy a train... you'll need the rails to make it go round corners anyhoo, technology might account for a lot but it'd still feel somewhat lethargic behind the wheel and would re-introduce you to the concept of inertia.
