Hey guys, being the local saturn knowledge pool around here, I'd like to point out that the car in the first video is the Saturn EV1 that was axed very early.

0-60 in 8 seconds, top speed of 183mph, drag coefficeint of 0.19.

Powered at the time of its release by 26 advanced recombinant lead-acid batteries for the high voltage system, and a regular 12 volt battery for all the regular stuff. An option was gonna be available later in its life to change to NiMH batteries for extended life, but obviously, that didn't happen.

Also, the 0-60 in 8 seconds was with the weaker motor (yes, it's a motor in this case!). They had a second developmental motor that knocked it out to about 4.5-5 seconds. That might seem slow, but if you think about it, it's really not.

End knowledge session.
