Welcome to Extreme E, a new, all-electric race championship that takes the spirit of Formula E but applies it to Dakar-style rally raids. Perhaps inevitably, it"s got the people behind Formula E to thank for its creation, with its founder and CEO, Alejandro Agag, in charge and the Odyssey 21 racecar made with the help of Spark Racing Technology. The car weighs 1,650kg and has a 550bhp electric powertrain yielding 0-62mph in 4.5secs. But more pressing is its ability to climb 130 per cent gradients, and its batteries" ability not just to provide power, but to withstand the tortuous nature of off-road motorsport.
