    Yea, these are generally the acc numbers I've been waiting for. The only thing they need to do now is port this tech over to less expensive models (<$150k). The acceleration of most modern cars is an absolute joke, even when taking into account sports cars.

    Also keep in mind that even _this_ acceleration is... decent at best, for a car. I've made numerous hexrotors that can hit ~300kmh (~186mpg) in 500-1000ms.

    Taking off they make cars look like an absolute joke. Disappears in front of you.
