High-Performance Electrics Hit the Blacktop
September 4, 2014
Time was when consumers thought of electric cars as glorified golf carts. That image, however, couldn't be more out of date, if it ever was accurate in the first place.
Today's electric production cars have posted 0-60 mph numbers of under four seconds. And EVs are growing more commonplace at dragstrips. Even racing legend Big Daddy Don Garlits has competed in an electrically powered dragster.
We've collected photos of electric cars, designed for both the neighborhood blacktop and the commercial dragstrip. From the Crazyhorse Pinto and the Killacycle motorcycle to the Tesla Roadster and the 500-HP Renovo Coupe, we offer a peek at the blistering performance of the electric powertrain.
