This is probably the only Porsche I’d ever consider owning, drivign & thrashing about on the track. The great thing is they are already looking for potential buyers of the concept super car before they commit to a production run! Just be sure to save me one for when I can afford it!

Freelancing has its ups so I’ll be back to dedicating more time to this site. First up is a series of must see viral videos:

A purpose built all electric race car with a max driver weight of 150 lbs! Lets see NASCAR drivers try and slip their gut into these slick little bucket seats!

“It uses a 110kW, quadripolar, liquid-cooled, AC induction motor (150hp) that propels the car to 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in less than five seconds and gives the e1 a maximum speed of 230 km/h and maximum torque of 250 Nm (185 lb-ft)”

]]> http://www.rallyduc.com/?feed=rss2&p=590 Possible T-Rex Build Coming Soon http://www.rallyduc.com/?p=588 http://www.rallyduc.com/?p=588#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:04:59 +0000 admin http://www.rallyduc.com/?p=588 I’ve been speaking with a guy that has a 2007 Campagna T-Rex frame & body for sale. It’s JUST a bare frame and wheels. No suspension, engine, electronics, seats, nothing. Just a bare frame and some panels. It’s a pretty good price, but friends and forums highly advise against it. But then again, would be a fun build progress to follow maybe? Maybe I could get Campagna to sponsor part of the build since EVERYONE coming to Rally Duc now is searching for Rex info. I guess in a way it’s still “Cage Free” Racing if youre on 3-wheels. If you have any T-Rex questions or comments, feel free to ask!
