Electric vehicles make great hillclimb machines, particularly the ones that aren't too heavy. Just look at the charts and records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed or Pikes Peak; over the last few years, they have been dominated by electric cars.
This i4, affectionately named 'Elsa,' was built by Engage Racing in Romania with the help of BMW Group Romania and other local and international sponsors. The result is a stunning electric racer that will be just as quick around a track as in a hillclimb.
The first thing you notice about this car is its custom aero kit, which has a dinner table-sized splitter under the front bumper, suitably wide side skirts and a massive diffuser to complement the huge rear wing.
The i4 they started with is a dual-motor M50 with 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet of torque. In stock guise, it weighs about 4,890 pounds and hits 60 mph from a standstill in 3.7 seconds.
