Here"s one to ruffle feathers. Chevrolet is taking a nine-second drag Camaro to the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Nowt wrong with that, you might think, but there"s one caveat: it"s electric. That makes perfect sense at a glance, mind. Electric powertrains provide instant and (often) humongous torque, with sledgehammer acceleration that no comparative petrol car can hope to match. Just look how Tesla can squeeze quicker acceleration times out of big heavy saloons than Ferrari and McLaren can from dainty sports cars. Thus as a way to propel nearly two tonnes of metal down a quarter-mile strip as quickly as possible, electrification ought to make sense. Meet the Camaro eCOPO, then, riffing off the name of drag special Chevy muscle cars past.
