I’m a bit surprised at this…electric race cars are about to become a reality, with the Formula-E race series hitting its 10-team target and scheduled to start racing in the fall of 2014. Motor output will be limited to 180hp (keep in mind electric cars are more about torque than horsepower), and will be allowed short-term power boosts like F1’s ‘push to pass’ feature.
Check out the video below…the cars sound pretty strange…I’m not sure I could get used to that, it’s just not the same. Though I have no doubt the racing may be great!
