Shelby, Tesla, Datsun (?) among world's top-10 fastest electric cars 1Clayton Cornell, writing on a web site called Gas 2.0 โ€œBiofuels, Oils, A Revolution,” has compiled an interesting list: The world’s fastest electric cars. Tesla sound right. But Tango and Datsun? Here’s what Cornell writes, in part:

โ€œBelow, weโ€™ve listed the worldโ€™s top 10 fastest electric cars, based on the best available information (and a little creative license). Note that our criteria does not take into account a variety of important factors like charging time, availability and cost. All cars are simply ranked by the time it takes them to get from 0-60 mph.

โ€œMost of the machines shown here are either not available or otherwise out out of the realm of possibility for most, but then again, so are most high-performance gas-powered cars, but that doesnโ€™t keep us from admiring them.โ€
