Dodge EV Concept Smokes 6.1 Hemi Challenger

Editor

Given the huge amount of instantaneously-available torque that the performance electric cars generate, the results of these 800-ft. runs aren’t all that surprising. Still, it’s interesting to see Dodge’s new EV take on some of the more respected members of the company’s own product line, even if neither of the cars is being particularly flogged on during the two exhibition runs. I wonder how the EV would do against an SRT-10 Viper. More at the LA Times blog.

On a shorter track with a lot of short straightaways, the Tesla would give a Viper a hard time. If the specs are similar for this EV, might be the same way. Lengthen the straightaways though, and the Viper keeps accellerating beyond 140mph.
