    They didn’t test it to a particularly high torque. The video embedded in the article claims they tested it to 1200nm wheel torque. A Civic type R makes more at each of its front wheels in first, second and third gear assuming maximum engine torque. Not only that but they also claim a 6.241 ratio on the thing so it’s still going to need a fairly substantial input torque. With the specs they posted, it would make for a car that goes down the road just fine, but probably isn’t going to be in any of the fastest categories.
