Popular Mechanics Electric Challenger

[Relic]

In case you haven't heard about it (I did some searching and didn't find anything), Popular Mechanics has been building an electric hybrid Dodge Challenger. Pretty cool project in my opinion. Hate the paint scheme though.

The Charger should have been the first coversion due to it's nameplate.  Very cool article though.

"Before we started modifying our Challenger, we needed to obtain baseline performance figures. At Virginia Motorsports Park, we romped from 0 to 60 mph in 4.95 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.55 sec @ 103.65 mph. This is strong acceleration for a 2-ton behemoth on OEM street tires!"

That what the car they had in the article did. An automatic R/T with a 5/7.
