This HST electric Cobra has a 150mph top speed, 130 mile range and goes from 0 - 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. These figures, except for the 0-60 time are very similar to the original 427 Cobra. Of course, the original didn't take 8 hours (3 hrs @ 220v) to refuel, but any performance junkie has got to salivate at the thought of driving a car with 1000 ft/lbs of torque from 0 to 10000 rpm!! Once the battery/recharging/packaging issues are sorted out, and they will be eventually, there is awesome performance potential in electric powered vehicles.
