In the jungle Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 If I remember correctly the last time they made bold performance claims for this car the times were set using drag racing slicks on the rear which somewhat undermines the 'production car' claim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post In the jungle Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 .....and the article you gave a link to says they ran it on ethanol to achieve those figures. Do you have any other fake news for us? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 AND ... ... The pizza will still be cold by the time I get home ???? OR ... ... I can warm the pizza up, in the toaster oven or microwave plugged into my EV, at the beach, watching the sun set w/beer, Then turn in for the night, sleeping comfy in the car w/AC on if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf001 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Is there any proof to validate the claim ? did LOL @ the claim it is the first production vehicle to run the 1/4 mile in under 9 seconds. Rimac ran 8.588 in the Nevera back in 2021. Pinnafarini ran 8.55 in the Battista a couple of months ago. Then we have the Lambo Huracan and Nissan R35 who both run high in the 8's over the 1/4. Wonder what else in the article is utter <deleted> ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 In any car you can only travel at the speed of the majority of the other traffic. If one needs a story for a bar join the SAS.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on grip from standing start is lacking. A bike with a nitro kit is super quick for about 10 - 15 secs but sitting there with wheel spinning is a waste of time. Rolling speed times are better indicators of acceleration times IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the suspension in a drag car is typically not suited to street usage..... then we start talking about pinion angles to get those rear tyres to bite the track.

In the jungle Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I did find a video on the internet yesterday but I didn't save the link: 1. It was running drag radial slicks at least on the rear 2. It had rear suspension revisions 3. It was running on a prepared drag strip 4. Fuel was ethanol I have no way of knowing whether the claimed times are accurate. The video just showed the first couple of seconds of the launch.
