Any details of motors, controller and battery pack?

And here I thought the White Zombie was the fastest. 0-60 in 1.8s: http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/whitezombie.php

Depends how you look at it Crash. Green Monster has higher top speed, however, White Zombie has better 1/8 mile times. So, even tho GM is faster, WZ has MUCH better acceleration.
I think if the two teams worked together, they could come up with ONE HELL of an EV.

Andrew is correct. The White Zombie has the fastest with the lithium ion powered ET 10.258 @ 123.79 mph. (in the standing start NHRA timed 1/4 mile, per NEDRA) 1.58 sec. 60 ft. time, 0-60 in ~ 1.8 seconds, 1/8 mile ET 6.443 @ 108.63 mph!

Congrats Rimac! Keep up the hard work of putting to rest the myths of EV's.

Not even close as so many others do better from the White Zombie 4 yrs ago to so many more since then.
As far as it going 174mph for more than second I doubt as it doesn't have the shape/aero to do it with either eff or stability. Air would get under it and it'd go flying off into a really bad crash.

WZ is QUICKEST - this car is FASTEST.
There's a clear difference in the accepted car-guy semantics.

Neither of which is a fast as Black Currant...
