So some French guys wanted an Electric car.

They took a Fiat 500 Abarth, slapped in 4600 LiFePO4 (LithiumIronPhosphorus) batteries in, achieved a weight of 1.4 tons. Then, they added two 80kW Electro Motors. One on each axle.

Now they will be slow right.

WRONG.

840Nm on the front axle, ~900Nm on the rear axle. It's limited to 180km/h. Would go over 200 though they claim.

0-100km/h? Under 6s.

Range: 200km. You can charge it in ~10h on a 220V socket

50 pieces will be built.

yeah, that's the problem with adapting a petrol car to electric. You get a heavy ass.

1300 lbs-ft and it just does sub 6 second 0-60? Power must be abysmal, like 3500 redline diesel ratio. And is the 180 limit really km? That's 110.
