An Electric Car.

No, really. Not a Volt, or a hybrid, but a pure electric or turbine electric, because, lets get serious here, the efficiency of an electric drivetrain at putting the rubber to the road is unequalled by any mechanical system that can be made. Shit, diesel electric is how they use locomotives to pull 24,000 ton trains.

Using the correct electronics, you can accelerate faster with electric motors than anything, because electrics can be used to carefully monitor and put power to the ground right at the very limit of tire slippage, and four very small wheel mounted motors can do more than just move the vehicle around, they can regeneratively brake to save energy, they can change speeds readily in cornering, etc.

I don’t give a shit for fuel economy; I want to have a small quiet car that’s ass kicking fast and can outrun and outhandle just about anything, and soon enough Electrics are going to be the way to do it.

On the other hand, there’s the volt. The $300,000 answer to a question that nobody asked.

Og:”How would you know?”
