Speed and Effeciency to be wed?

I’m a true, red-blooded American who loves the sound and feel of a true, red-blooded American muscle car… but I’m also intrigued by what automotive engineers have come up with in terms of a more refined, efficient mode of transportation.

Pictured is the new Wrightspeed X1 Prototype. There are other electric cars out there, but most lack something I consider to be essential to any sweet ride, and that’s speed. Speed is something the X1 does not lack however, boasting the ability to go from 0 – 60mph in 3 seconds. You read that right…. three.

Check out the rest of the specs here, and check out a video of the X1 going up against a Lamborgini Gallardo and a NASCAR here.
