Speaking of cars that are good if not especially scary-looking: here’s the latest edition of the craziest version of one of the world’s tamest cars. Reportedly twice as powerful as the previous version of the Leaf RC, it makes its power through dual 161-hp motors that combine for almost 500 lb-ft of torque. Looks even better, too, thanks to its being based on the second-gen LEAF that looks better in general. Not exactly sure where it will be racing – if at all – but we’re pretty sure we’d love to see it do so.
