Could this be the Lexus that sends Ferrari owners running for cover? We'll see... But it'll have the battery powered car clan running for cover.

It's not often that a Fueltopia convoy doesn't go un-noticed as it thunders down the highway. Add a US cop car and a Texan in his hat and you've got a sight for sore eyes.
Passengers in passing cars hung out of their windows with camera phones snapping up the action. The Ace Cafe is London's premiere motoring hangout and it was the perfect place to showcase the new drag cop car and have a final farewell dinner with our American guests.

Last Sunday I ventured to Shakespeare Raceway to check out the Original Hot Rod Drags and chill out with our Texan guest, Lt. Tom Brown from Beat the Heat.
Keeping to my standard time-keeping, I was late. But the sun was shining and the sound of big block V8's broke the otherwise peaceful midlands countryside it was the perfect soundtrack.
Despite being a vetran of the drag strip, i was a fresh-faced newbie amongst the hot rod regulars and Lt. Tom was home-away-from-home… Continue
