Far too much for an old codger like you.


Leave such performance to us 'young guys'... :)

No room for a whippet, just about enough for your mobile phone.

That’s going to produce a lot of heat... how do they keep it cool?

By giving it three hours recharging time for every ten seconds of abuse :D

And the batteries last 10 seconds.

And I'm assuming (probably incorrectly  ::)) that when the battery dies, you can't tow to recover unless you disengage the driveshafts. Be like pushing a toy car that's run out of battery and listening to that horrible motor wind up noise.  :-\

0-186mph in under 9 seconds, you'd have whiplash after the first few traffic light grand prix's.  ::)
