1972 Datsun 1200--Electric Conversion...

Now I am not the biggest fan of electric vehicles--I love the smell, sound and feel of an ICE and still have many issues with electric vehicles (such as them actually being WORSE for the environment than equivalent ICE driven units) and the fact that they have been co-opted by many members of the pseudo-intellectual left and Hollywood mainstream makes them unpalatable to me...

That being said...this car is awesome. It smokes the GT-R in this video and supposedly has a range under certain circumstances of about 100 miles. Now I have no idea how much it cost to build but a street legal car that does 0-60 in under 2 seconds has to be respected in a number of ways, regardless of how it is powered...
