Formula Student, a competition among various European technical institutes, has produced this. No wonder its quick: The carbon fibre construction has a total weight of 168 kg and produces about 200 hp. A four-wheel drive is implemented with four specially designed wheel hub motors, which generate a total torque of 1630 Nm at the wheels. By means of traction control, torque distribution is controlled individually for each wheel to maximise vehicle acceleration. No other production vehicle in the world has reached a similarly strong acceleration. (168 kg is 370lb, 1630 Nm is 1202 lb/ft)
