Going electric

Very little detail there apart form the relative bhp. I think Wrightspeed did it with an early Ariel Atom, batteries have come along a little since, so you'd hope this is a bit better.

There wasn't too much wrong with the Wrightspeed X1 back in 2006 !

Two questions:

1. What does it sound like?

2. How many times can you say BorgWarner in 146 seconds?

1. Extremely loud without the engine noise.
2. Resistance is futile.

Does it have to go back to a regeneration unit every night, then?
