Awesome job Joe and EVOMS! I know you've heard it a thousand times, but this is really an outstanding accomplishment and it puts EVOMS back on top of the totem pole!

Can I donate my car to the Evoms team for research? I would love to help a good cause and get back a 231 mph car.
Well done guys - by the way, what is the HP on that monster?

Muker,

How much disposable income do you have?

Yea, Marty, I'm guessing you'd need a cool $150K laying around to duplicate this effort properly.

Truly impressive accomplishment indeed!

I think they were 100 rpm short of the imposed redline, which was no where near what the max redline for these motors is when built up. The car went through at 7700 rpm, and these motors can rev to 9k rpm with proper internals and if the power band permits. Of course aerodynamics takes over.
