TESLA P85 Gets ZAPPED by Electric MIATA !!
http://youtu.be/lQkdMw4TVjY
An 85 kw Tesla Model S Performance Package takes on Mazda Miata with an Electric Motor Conversion in a 1/4 mile drag race. The Miata is powered by a 333-volt lithium-ion battery pack controllers that drive a pair forklift motors at the wheels. The Miata runs an incredible 9.27 @ 142 mph to the Tesla's very respectable 12.72 @ 102 mph.
I need some forklift motors hahah.
This is the very best thing I've seen this week. And I have no doubt that comment will still be valid on Friday afternoon.
There is a couple videos of it. Definitely worth a watch.
Me and a coworker are laughing at the "twoo twoo twoo" sound it makes while warming the tires up
Quietest drag race ever. Was like watching full scale slot cars. I actually turned the volume up forgetting electric cars are so quiet.
That thing is awesome!
But the lack of screaming engines kinda feels wrong. lol
Pretty awesome but it would be even more boring to go to a drag strip and watch a bunch of life size r/c cars
Wow amazing! I agree lack of screaming engines kinda feels wrong.
miata has a 5 lug conversion.. pretty cool
