Mitsubishi's Pikes Peak EV Race Car

Holy CARP!

I'm hesitant to read the specs:

. . .
MMNA stated numerous key improvements have been made to this year’s MiEV Evolution III entries. These changes include:

A significant power increase from the electric motors to 450 kilowatt (603 horsepower), up from last year’s 400 kilowatt (536 horsepower)

A redesigned tube-frame chassis with new structural materials for reduced weight

A completely redesigned and wind tunnel-optimized front bodywork/spoiler for more downforce

A redesign of the Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system for improved handling and traction control performance

This year marks the 92nd running of the Race to the Clouds, which will be held June 29 near Colorado Springs, Colorado.

First run in 1916, the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a treacherous 12.42-mile, 156 corner road course through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The starting line is at an elevation of 9,390 feet and finish is at 14,110 feet – nearly 3 miles above sea level.

Now that is a daily commuter I would love to have!
