    Flux Capacitor: Europe's fastest street legal EV

    "I hereby plan to resurrect a long-forgotten British electric relic and drag (race) it into the 21st century using modern day leccy technology.

    Why? Because we want the Flux Capacitor to be Europe's fastest street legal EV. It was never going to be the prettiest..."

    From the blog:

    The Flux Capacitor is as much about celebrating Great British eccentricity as it is pushing zero emission boundaries. In effect, it is taking retro to the future.

    This is a 600 hp street legal EV in Croatia so this guy has to beat that.

    280 km/h top speed and 11,3 sec. on the 1/4 mile.

    It is well know that you can legalize anything in the UK as long as it has brake-lights and blinkers. We have worked very hard for two years to homologate this car, with tons of documentation and changes made to the car in order to comply with all regulations.
