Because of the instant high torque available, Porche and other performance car manufacturers are going the hybrid route. If you want a bit more get up and go electro assist your front wheels. :y :y :y
12v through the hubs should do it... :D

Good discussion point on which is faster: Gloss black, matt black, metallic black, pearlescent black? Obviously, preparation for the respray is crucial, along with the number of coats as heavier means slower. :-[

What do the other contributors think is the best way to make the fastest black one?

Damn didn't think of the various types of black ;D Would think matt would be slowest as glossy/polished surely slips through the air better? :-\

Then there's, how many coats, that would add more weight,
Car will need a full acid dip, then a light coat, a few microns thick, got to keep the weight down. :)

Arr but then there faster white n Battenberg, what is a bear to do. ;D

Lol some comics hiding in the OOF closets  ::) ;D

Ok, so thanks to sir tigger for the app. That is certainly a more reasonable price (£9.99) for being able to test. But I wonder how accurate it is. But worth a try for a tenner.

If you get 9.2, you'll say it's accurate, if you get 9.8, you'll say it lies.
