Anybody else see this video yet?
The lack of engine noise takes some getting used to... I've read rumors that the next Evo will be electric. I've also read that Mitsu had an electric Evo running around back in 2005 with a motor at each wheel. -------------------- 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX - all options except AT & leather *sold*

I've seen a few motor on wheel concepts, and I like that design much better than having a full drivetrain setup with one big motor. makes a lot more sense, and makes for better electric braking too... supposing they can make it work.
