A 900-horsepower electric utility van beat a Ferrari and a Nissan GT-R in a drag race

Hilarious.
The Chinese-funded company fitted its 900-horsepower, all-wheel-drive electric powertrain to a utility van to show off its performance capabilities. The van, nicknamed "Edna," is just a mule, Road and Track reported — but the underpinnings will eventually show up in Atieva's own future sedan.
In the meantime, you need something to compare that kind of power to, so the company lined up a bunch of cars, including a Ferrari 458 Speciale, a Nissan GT-R, and some Tesla Model S cars for a few quarter-mile runs. The result is pretty stunning.
