Dear MIMFers,

Here's a company that yanks out the gas engine and puts in one or more battery-driven electric motors depending upon what kind of performance you want, in an original Porsche or Lamborghini or other make:

You can get motive traction with over 1400 lb/ft of torque. Now that folks, will get you moving from 0-60 in two seconds or less(as fast as a formula one car), depending upon the weight of the car. And that torque is available immediately.

Cheers,
