The 1300 ft/lbs of torque refers to the gyro below the floor. Not the driver motors.

Yikes. Put it on three wheels! All of the advantages, none of the disadvantages. Also, 1,300 foot pounds of torque? What does this even mean? I can’t imagine that it means putting that much torque to the drive wheels.

The Mustang is piston driven converted to circular changed 90 degrees and converted then to linear torque. lots of loss. This is circular transfered straight to circular to linear drive. not near the loss. thats why much smaller electric motors can do the same work as huge gasoline engines

I really want one, though I don’t want to be in it to see how it responds to that first, strong sideways gust of wind.

Well, what Lit Motors said to Gizmag, verbatim is “The flywheels will be located beneath the vehicle’s floor, and should generate over 1,300 lb/ft (1,763 Nm) of torque in the final, commercial model.”

1300 ft/lbs of torque! You might want to double check that number! For reference, the new Mustang GT is listed at making 390 ft/lbs of torque.
