The EV 1 felt faster off the line then a standard corvette. I got to ride along in side by side comparisons in a Corvette, Mustang, Trans-am and Camaro in 2001. I was also in a EV1 on a nearby track.

The EV 1 was a GM limited production/test car. It was all electric and was only available for lease during the late 90s in California. All electric means all torque available all the time. It was an amazing vehicle, but sadly, GM destroyed them all rather then sell them. Coefficent of drag of 0.19? Axel torque of 1206 lb ft? Electric landspeed record of 183 MPH?
Brilliant piece of engineering. A few more factoids.
