Tire melter

The US Army has a big tank, the M1 Abrams, that has enough torque to push buildings out of its way. So what could be better than to have even more torque in a bright red car? Audi’s concept electric vehicle, the e-Tron, does the tank’s mere 2,750 foot pounds of torque one better: 3,320. With a motor at each wheel, this car can turn a set of tires into blue-white smoke in mere seconds. Who could ask for more?
