Watch An Electric Dragster Clock A 7sec 1/4-Mile In Near Silence

Compared to the roar of top fuel dragsters, the 'Electric Fox' makes very little noise - all you hear as it clocks this 7.631sec quarter at 170mph is a faint whine and a load of tyre noise

This impressive effort at Tierp Arena in Sweden last month was good enough to give the ‘Electric Fox’ a European record for the fastest electric dragster over a quarter-mile, and was just 0.356sec shy of the world record. The car - driven here by Maris Ozolins - is powered by six liquid-cooled motors and beefy custom lithium-ion batteries.

its really cool but it will never be as exiting to watch as the combustion engine counterpart the noise is such a large part of the experience.

I think the sound of tires being mercilessly savaged in near silence is pretty impressive.

Well, while I like when technology advances, this video is terrifying. If this is the future of motorsports, I hope that someone creates the time machine soon.

When I was a kid I would imagine full size RC cars. What I did not imagine the cost. Death of ICE
