We wrote about the Wrightspeed X1 electric car last July, and today we finally get to see it in action! Via Digg.com (we stole their headline), here is a video of the X1 out-accelerating (by a pretty big margin) a Ferrari and a Porsche. Of course it's apples to oranges, but it's still pretty cool and will certainly help change the stereotypes about electric cars (though probably not as much as the Tesla Roadster). ::Video: Electric car vs Ferrari.
