World's fastest electric car. Chinese company, NextEVO, says it's serious about electric cars (look out Elon Musk). This thing, the NextEVO NIO, is seriously quick. It also makes some of the scariest electrical noises going. Don't think you necessarily need to watch the whole video to get the idea. Beautiful shots of the Nordschleife too.

Jay - thanks for posting that. Great video. Let's hope electric car range and affordability improve as fast as the technology!

Tom, for me the problem is getting over my love for the internal combustion engine. While I know what the future needs, I'm torn by what sounds and feelings come from the power plants I've always cherished.
This quote from an article I read recently pretty well sums up my thoughts:
"There’s something Promethean about the internal combustion engine, the primeval and the technological mix. It’s in the sound, the force, the fury. The greatest engines truly are harnessed fire, and while the electric future makes sense, there isn’t the same emotional connection.To steal a line or two from a friend, no one remembers the early jets, but everyone pines for the last of the piston-engined fighter craft, the P-51 Mustangs and the Spitfires and the Focke-Wulfs."
 
Tom, I'm glad you linked that article...think it's a wonderful read.
As far as the Wankel though....
