911 Electrified

When the dinosaurs last rotting remants are extracted from the earth, we'll be driving something like this. http://dvice.com/archives/2008/10/electric_porsch.php
I wonder if they'll include a digital recording on loudspeakers of a Zork tube at WOT.

Cool car.

I wonder what happens in a wreck with one of those? All those batteries? Is there a better chance of an electrical short and fire?

Or it's weight.

Still better than a Prius, actualy anything is better than a Prius, I think thats how you spell it.

Yeah, I'd hate to end up with a thousand pounds of batteries in my lap. But fire....there would be nothing to support a fire, other than wire insulation and upholstery. Certaily a direct shrot across the terminals would result in several hundred amps current draw and would basiclally weld and toast anything in contact.

Beautiful car, but that has got to be the ugliest engine (motor) that I've ever seen.
