Remember when the Wrightspeed X1 electric car beat both a Ferrari 360 Spyder and Porsche Carerra GT off the line? Well, ex-Cisco and DEC engineer Ian Wright is back with his SR-71 that he says will do 0-60 in a brain-numbing 2.5 seconds.

That’s a long time to wait, sure, but a faster-than-Bugatti EV at a fraction of the cost could just be worth it.
