Projekt E took place last week the first EV Rally Cross.

The sound is amazing there’s no added bonus of hearing the tyre screech clear as a bell. Then there’s the acceleration.

That is awesome, like real life Scalextric 😃 Smelly old combustion engines really have had their day haven't they!

EDIT: you can actually order one! If you have €374,000 to spare (probably not road legal mind 😂) Much rather have one of these than some Lambo-style supercar though 😃

I hope it comes with a smelly burny electrical smell. A 70 plate 'fast' Audi passed me last night that smelled like a worn out Scalextric car but no idea what the source of the smell was.

Could be a diesel re-gen cycle, mind smells like burning plastic sometimes. It's not nice.

I'm guessing they don't need drop arms or batwing chassis.

Electric rallying makes way more sense than electric formula racing.

Insane acceleration and time to recharge between short stages. Wonder why it wasn't the first thing thought of rather than formula e - especially with all the sponsorship opportunities for manufacturers?

Yup especially rally cross as they’re short races. With super chargers they can ready to go within 30 minutes or so.

Ken Block sounds like Donald Trump.

Sound like an ebike, without the tyre screaching.

Looks fantastic though, would love a go in one

Yeah it’s nothing like a petrol rally car just like my hybrid doesn’t sound like a McClaren that I followed the other day, of course it doesn’t. I quite like it though but yes the whistles and pops of a petrol are much better.
