An EV I Would Definitely Buy!

If I had an extra $2million

Yea, so hardly anyone will even see, let alone own, one of these but it is all kinds of cool. If any of this starts trickling down to the real world things might not be so bleak after all.

That actually looks well built. Nice fit and finish.
Looks like all you need is the batteries… back ordered….

I recently watched an in-car video of a Tesla running my "home track" AMP. What a snooze fest. Sure it runs times as quick as my Vette but the only sounds you hear are tires protesting in the corners. No challenging rev match down shifts. Doesn't matter how fast or well built these electric machines are, they are just transportation appliances.

Never A Rimac?

Weight 2150 kg yeah, that's a nope.

And then there’s this…

For the record, the odds of this ever seeing the light of day are super super slim.

Here's a much watched scene without one of the legendary John Williams' scores...

Go to Youtube and look for First Top Fuel Event. Watch the reaction these people have. Priceless!
Electric drag racing?…I think not.

Side note, the most amazing man-made thing I've ever experienced was an F-22 demo at an airshow. If you've never been, it's absolutely worth it.

The EAA convention is in my hometown. I work(semi-retired) for an aircraft facility on that airport. See it every year that they bring it which lately, is every year.
