And there's the rest of the story. What it can do it can't do for very long. If you want to race this is your EV:
Caution: If you're sensitive the the high-pitched whine of an EV this car is not for you.

Yes and no.If I remember correctly the bolt did faster laps than the model S.

The Stig would be a good test driver. The Bolt and S are in different classes. I think if The Stig can get the Bolt to go as fast, that would be saying something. As I recall someone with a bit of racing experience recently pointed out that Tesla handling sucks on the track. I expect the Bolt probably does too, but The Stig can drive anything.We need a Stig to drive these cars, one at a time, on the clock, similar tires.
It was stated that a 4-cylinder Camaro could beat the pants off of an S on the track. I'm not going to fetch the quote. It was last week.What I remember is something along the lines of "far better than what you would expect from a car this heavy". So I'm thinking more middling, or even better than average, than terrible.
Sounds Quattro-like. Yes you could. I wonder who will - Porsche?Put separate motors on each wheel with great vectoring software and active rear wheel steering and you could have pretty spiffy handling.
