Can you imagine the kind of fun you can have in a 1,000 horsepower machine that only weighs 2,200 pounds? Yeah, were’ talking about some serious power to weight ratio and when you consider that a Tesla Plaid making the same power weighs over 5,200 pounds, this thing should haul some serious ass. I’m sure it does all kinds of things the right way but it’s going to ruffle a few feathers here as well, because it is in fact electric. But I don’t care. Power is power and fun is fun and I’m sure all of us would love to tear this thing up even if we have to plug it in instead of filling it up.

Video Description:

Buffy the Tesla Slayer finally has some clothes on. In this episode we cover the fibreglass body which has now been installed on the race car. We also show off the rear brakes and have some decisions to make on the wheels and tyres.

In this episode we talk about wheels, wiring, cooling and spin up the Tesla motors in the car using the new wiring loom for the first time. Won’t be long now until this little VW Beetle looking electric powered monster will be tearing up some tarmac.
