Seems they are still working out kinks with the direct drive transmission. In order for it to be as fast as possible, it would need to be at it’s highest horsepower rpm while attempting top acceleration speeds. Doesn’t sound like it while driving in this video. Typically v8’s max out hp at 6,000 rpm. Doesn’t sound like it’s hitting that number. Would make sense why it’s slow accelerating. I believe in the technology. This will give gas engines a fighting chance once the kinks are worked out.
