Bugatti Builds An Electric Car The Only Way They Know How, Like A Bugatti

AutoExpress reports:

It’s the shock new machine that looks set to change the way we think about electric vehicles… Bugatti has built an 800bhp battery-powered supercar, Auto Express can reveal.

The working prototype, believed to be based on the chassis of a Bentley Continental GT, features an advanced lithium-ion battery pack and two enormously powerful electric motors – which deliver an awesome 2,200Nm of torque from 0mph.

From full charge to no charge in as little as 10 minutes :P

Also, take that 2200Nm of torque with a huge grain of salt, it doesn't say what gear ratio it has with it.

Let's throw up a picture of a Veyron since you can't possible have any of a Continental GT lying around? You can put a Ferrari in a mini-van post too. WTF?!? Get some kind of relevance in the articles and stop putting up so many pictures of every BMW on the road today.

@Whelan

You're kidding, right?

The first line states that the rumors have speculated it is a SUPERCAR. Bugatti + supercar = Veyron. Doesn't get anymore relevant than that.
