If you’re going to move into an EV, you might as well go all out, right?
Not that long ago, looking at the pinnacle of modern performance meant looking at a great big V8 or V12, preferably with forced induction to make mind-blowing horsepower and torque. That’s not strictly the case anymore as electric performance cars hit the scene, like the Tesla Model S Plaid.
