I certainly hope we can make viable electric cars before our grand kids are around.

Stupid video. A gas Atom will roast either of those cars in a rolling quarter, so what is he really proving?.

that is DEFINITELY an Atom, he just convereted it to electric. Impressively done, nonetheless, but he'd better not try to take credit for the whole car. The atom is an incredible car already...

btw, how much is an atom anyway?

I sorta wish he raced another atom....this video doesn't really prove anything...

Then race against a gas Atom. Or better yet, build a luxury exotic that can run with the F430 or C-GT.

Start around $50,000 for the 160 HP variant. The 300 HP version runs around $70 if memory serves.

i've seen the original site for the electric atom or whatever, and he says that it's built from an Ariel Atom. so no real thievery there.

That would be a sweet race-electric atom vs gas atom. The electric verson sounded like a small jet.
