I'm asking "Why?" Because the one said high gas prices! Obviously there is an alternative! I mentioned electric cars to one person a (real big television watcher) he said to me "come on, you know that's not going to happen!." I'm not stating that he's wrong. I'm asking "why?" The only way to understand what's going on is to ask the hard questions!
| | The X1 prototype is just the beginning. (As seen in the Newer Type 1 ) It meets its design specs of 0-60 in 3 seconds, 170 mpg equivalent; and at 1536 lbs, is only 36 lbs over the design target of 1500. It really does raise the performance driving experience to a new level, even for racing drivers. No clutch, no shifting, precise and immediate control of torque in drive and braking, perfect traction control… first gear takes you to 112mph…
In recent track testing, on street tires, it achieved the following performance: 0-30 mph: 1.35 sec 0-60 mph: 3.07 sec in 117 ft 0-100 mph: 6.87 sec 0-100-0 mph 11.2 sec Lateral g: 1.3 Braking g: 1.2
