Summary

Pros
O - 124 mph in 7.1 seconds and top speed of 294 mph.
Set a new record at the Nürburgring on the 12th of May.
Looks like a lot of fun to drive from the video.

Cons
Doesn't come with Chinese size truck nuts.

And it would take just 2.5 seconds for a pothole in BR to destroy that car.

They don't mention any safety rating. Since it's Chinese made I would assume it's instant death in any sort of crash.

Chinese? Slanted headlights?

Yep, appears legit.

I cant compute the skill it takes to drive a car that fast around that track.

The acceleration in the video is ridiculous. I would take it for a drive on a track.

I bet the batteries overheat after just one lap on the track, just like a Tesla

Let off the gas unnecessarily more than a few times.

Get another driver. Get a better time.

I'm not sure I'd want to attempt more than 1 lap.

I wonder if it has enough charge to run more than one lap?

That's the worst sounding interior noise I've ever heard. If electric cars sound like that mark me in the never want category.

I've heard worse on open wheel cars.
