Just look what can ordinary "Joe" do when he decides to go against all rules and creates something really awesome in every aspect from almost 20 years old car powered not by gas or diesel but electric current..Enjoy!!
I´ve seen reportage on Nova TV 2-3 days ago about this guy and I was stunned with this car and determination behind this project.Guy name is Mate Rimac and,as far I know,he doesn´t have any school degree in electric/mechanic science whatsoever..As the matter of fact,he´s studying Economics at University of Zagreb and he´s three exams away from his degree ..Obviously,he has great know-how about eletric motors/batteries to make this car go as it goes..Can´t wait for his 900 HP E30 project to finish .
Thx for reply,mate..I´m also quite a fan of E30 line..stock or modded .
I´m not quite sure about quarter mile time unfortunately,but I´m guessing its not far from 12 sec flat..As I have heard,currently car has 600 HP electric motor and about 500 HP at the wheels..Plan is to go to 900 HP so time should be much quicker then..
I´ll be watching this guy and his progress and I will update this thread as soon I collect any relevant info about this stunning car/project.
Found one more video featuring this awesome E30..Enjoy!!
