Meanwhile with unrelenting traffic flow, the dino fuel cars can sit there waiting and waiting for a gap to open up for an eternity.
The 918 laptime under 7:00 made perfect sense to me...

Electric motor = instant torque. Also with the computer checking each wheel all the time, it can make micro adjustments to each wheel to put maximum power without any wheels spin. I have driven the roadster and it's scary fast and silent. Faster than the Lotus it is based on
