Ford is taking a seven-motor, 1,400-hp Mustang Mach-E to NASCAR

What’s the best way to tease Americans who might not otherwise consider an electric car with a glimpse of EVs’ true performance potential?

Claiming 0-60mph sprint times of 1.85 seconds and topping out at 258mph thanks to a truly titanic 1914hp, the C_Two has furthered the all-electric hypercar game well past the realms of internal combustion. And due to a well placed safety feature, Rimac has made the car ‘Richard Hammond-proof’ thanks to one of the greatest pieces of trolling ever seen in the car industry. The Croatian EV supercar company has placed a svelte, tailored fire extinguisher into the rear ‘engine bay’/boot, with the securing strap reading ‘IN CASE Read more
