Yes Strang, and think of the torque a high performance fully electric car motor could be made to exert. And it would be over a very wide band. In fact a correctly developed fully electric car could be made to beat just about anything a piston driven fuelie engine could throw out.

And we could also have our more modestly powered vehicles to make the majority happy. The torque heads could be satisfied as well as the masses. Everyone happy and no gasoline burned. Happy visions..happy visions…..

Even if we have to burn some kind of fossil fuels it can be as little as a tenth of what we burn now if we play our cards right.
There will always be people who want to go balls to the wall, and if they want to pay for the technology to do that I say let them have at it.
The racing industry has given us more efficiency as well as more power, and it has also given us safer automobiles as well.
If racing goes electric, count on seeing electric motors that weigh a fraction of what they weigh now soon afterward.
And you can count on the electric racing business to show up with add-ons that breathe even more performance into the already fast electrics available today.
It may turn out to be the most exciting chapter in racing history.
It may also kick start the enthusiasm for the breed like nothing else will.
