Tango v Tesla @ Infineon Nov 30th
quite close and indicative of races to come. In this race, the Tango got 92.15mph in 14.480 seconds, beating its 14.7 “dial” handicap and thus losing the competition; the Tesla got 101.23mph in 14.666 seconds, slower than its 14.5 “dial” handicap and allowing it to proceed to the next round. (Two rounds later, the Tango’s driver got behind the wheel of the Tesla and also beat its “dial” handicap… and thus lost!) Epilogue: the cars compete in different voltage classes, and thus both were able …

respectable mid 14s for both
look in the video info…..
I like Smartcars, but that little Smartcar wannabe is ugly as hell… Why is it so boxy I wonder? Oh well, at least it’s good for the environment. And fast. Pretty cool.
all I can think about, besides these new, great vehicles coming, is that GM, who are asking for billions of dollars from all of us, pulled their EV-1s off the market, wouldn’t let anyone buy them, poof. Gone.
did jaymitch actually type ‘van’?
lol at that porta potty on wheels
Owned!
that was hilarious
Good for the environment? That little car had two gas-powered generators charging it when it pulled in. Funny that they still need gasoline to make electricity – so what is the point?
The little car has 3,920 miles on it. The 1.5 gallons of gas it used that day are the first gas it’s ever used. It’s the same principle behind the Chevy Volt: if the first 40 miles are gas-free, there are a lot of people who will never need gas.
To put it another way: the point is, I can take my gas engine off when I want.
I’d drive it but I’m not hung up on appearances like most people in this country are.
would you even survive in a car crash at 40 mph in one of those things..
NOPE! You would be a pancake inside that little car if you got into an accident, lol!
The Tango is designed for racing; it has a full steel roll cage inside that meets SCCA/NHRA rules, and the doors have re-enforced steel inside, too. The seats are sparco with 4-point restraints. In theory it should be able to survive a 200mph crash without damaging the integrity of the roll cage.
Full sized generators and power plants are many magnitudes more efficient at converting fuel into usable power than the engine of a car.
Hey Jorg, I was curious to know what kind of generators you used and if it would fit into the back of the Tango.
I dont like the Tango XD if i crash in that thing maybe i will not survive and in the Tesla yes
get a table
it lowers the cost from ur pocket, it lowers pollution, and is a great start for future models to based on. i very intelligent idea.
yes combine the tesla roadster with nikola teslas wireless energy transfer and you will get 99% efficientcty and save the enviroment at the same time. i put up videos on how teslas industrial wireless energy transfer would work if your interested!!

“The quarter-mile flashes by in just 11.2 seconds at a trap speed of 130.5″
looks like a kids toy car
why cant i see the video
wanting new friends IE
ma che merda รจ?
It’s has a roll cage in it and built for a 200mph crash. Handles better than most exotics, and also has a 5 star rollover rating. You’ll be fine since youre strapped in with 4 point harness in a racing bucket. And it weighs 2000 lbs.
