I remember reading car magazines when I was a kid and thinking how 0-60 in 6 seconds was so fast! Looks like about 4.5 seconds is the new performance standard. That's just sick.

I guarantee you that a powerful electric motor based hot rod will bring a big decrease in 0-60 times.

Electric motors make their max. torque at or near stall (0 rpm). Think about that one....
