VW electric racer sets Pikes Peak's overall record

[Gasser64]

i bet it's faster without that electric horseshit

Electric beats the hell out of gas. On more than one level

Imagine an LSjuan swap. That sound is sweet

[mustang_revival]

We may have found the only case in existence where an LS swap is not desired.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Some history of times up the hill:

2013 -Sebastein Loeb - 8878
2013 - Rhys Millen - 9192
2014 - Romain Dumas - 980
2015 - Rhys Millen - 922
2014 - Greg Miller - 918
2014 - Hiroshi Masuoka - 920
2015 - Paul Dallenbach - 9:36:49
2013 -Jean-Philippe Dayraut - 9:42:74

In an electric car in 2014 Nobuhiro Tajima ran 9:43:90 - where he beat his gasser time from 2013 (9:46:53) by 11 seconds
But yeah, VW somehow penalized themselves with the EV drivetrain and could have done EVEN BETTER with a gasser, but they shit the bed by having Romain Dumas run a 7:57:148

Don't be ignorant just because you don't like something.

doesn't count then does it!? hahaha

Electric beats the hell out of gas. On more than one level

In this case electric has a significant advantage because it does not lose power at altitude.

Against?

Nah. Unlike a Tesla, you can’t hold your nose in the air at peasants with a Vdub (you’ll inhale all the the nasty illegal diesel emissions).
