Wow, check out this Wrightspeed SR-71, an electric car that does 0 to 60 seconds in just 2.5 seconds!

It’s faster than my motorcycle, a Ferrari, and a Porsche!

Videos after the jump!

You see, back when Wright was visiting different tracks embarrassing Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, it seemed there was one gas guzzler that still could best him, the infamous 1001hp Bugatti Veyron. The X1 came up about a half second short from 0-60 mph while his 0-100-0 time of 11.2 seconds was a full second and a two whiskers behind that of the W16-powered supercar. With luck, 18 months from now will see a newly-fashioned, battery-powered bolt of lightning, code-named the “SR-71″, destroy the Bugatti, leaving in its wake only salty $1.4 million-dollar tears. To show he’s not such a bad chap, Wright will then be able to turn those frowns upside-down by offering this new machine up for sale.
