[QUOTE="Bryon, post: 862282, member: 10047"] I remember hearing about this, "The Tango": "Who might trade in their regular car for a Tango? Anyone who has a need for speed. To say this zero-emissions vehicle is fast would be an understatement. It's lightning fast. Imagine doing zero to 60 MPH in less than four seconds. Many gas-guzzling sports cars, including Porsches and Lamborghinis, can't even do that. But this svelte electric car can. Because the motor is electric, it doesn't need to build up power like an internal combustion engine. Even if you're not a car buff, consider this: The Dodge Viper hits a maximum of 490-foot pounds of torque, and it has to spool up to 3700 RPMs before it gets there. But said Bryan Woodbury: 'We have 1,000 foot-pounds of torque at 0 RPMs.' In other words, the Tango has all its power available before you even touch the gas pedal (make that "electricity" pedal). "We found that in electric drag racing there were electric cars and controllers and motors available that could beat a Dodge Viper by a full second in the quarter mile," Rick Woodbury said. Bryan Woodbury estimates the cars will have up to 400 horsepower once they're tested. That's plenty of power, considering the entire vehicle weighs about 2,500 pounds. In comparison, the Dodge Viper weighs in at 3,490 pounds." -from ABCNEWS.COM Forgot the best part...pictures! LMAO! [url]http://www.commutercars.com/gallery.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
