I wish my videos were working. Someone was just telling me about this today. Sounds pretty insane.
Need to catch up on the technology, myself.. had no idea that electric motors were such torque monsters. What does it weigh?
oh... and what the fukk is a "milk float" ??
...milf Koat... now THAT I understand.
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - larsalan - 06-13-2011
I have no idea what a milk float is, from a parade? Yes electric motors are awesome. Well they are awesome to run but they need to get power from somewhere.
I guess it's gotta come from the battery technology that all those car manufactures have patented
My favorite thing I have seen recently are duramax swaps. Like this one for example.

I blinked and missed the run.
Slingshot. But with no gears to change....
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - Captain America - 06-14-2011
Quite possibly the lamest thing I've ever seen...
The duramax muscle cars are awesome!

Nah, 6 liters is way too big. How about a small diesel.

I thought this was: SUPER TURBO DIESEL . com
Not: lets save gas . com
LOL!
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - led-panzer - 06-17-2011
I believe it. There's a couple old Hondas that can get that kind of mileage, and regular gas powered bikes can get that or better, a diesel bike would have insanely good mileage.
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - led-panzer - 06-17-2011
Right. So if a gas engine can do it so can a diesel.
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - willbhere4u - 06-17-2011
a Golf TDI will do 50-55 mpg easy
Evan the Prius only gets 40mpg
RE: beetle 1.6s 0-60 - willbhere4u - 06-17-2011
It's all how you drive it! my friend was getting 50mpg in his 98 when the waste gate failed = 0 boost he didn't want to fix it! other wise he was getting 45mpg with mixed driving!
