CNC milled all-electric racer August 11

200mph EV based on 1923 Model T Ford

It may still be a work in progress, but hot rod enthusiast Todd Perkins is already leaving onlookers breathless with The Inhaler.

With 30 years in the hot rod industry behind him, Todd knows a thing or two about making cars that go fast and look good while doing it.

The goal is for the 1200lb Inhaler to reach speeds of up to 200mph – pretty impressive for a custom built electric vehicle.

We want to achieve over 1 g. in lateral acceleration, with a 0-60 time of around 2 seconds…

Todd isn’t going about this alone – technicians, experts, students and enthusiasts are all pooling resources to get the unique vehicle on the road by the end of the year.

    Chuck drank his haterade this morning… Looks as if the foam will serve as a buck for laying fiberglass over and creating the body pieces… seems a bit early to call ugly. Can tell you are a lonely dude, keep hatin’ Chucky.
