The Green Hornet
This converted MR2 can be run as a fast, burn-rubber racing car or as a more
docile street machine.
It was put through Technical Testing, even though it was not competing,
to see how close-to-ready it was for next year's Tour.
Four contactors (two near the shock absorber tower and two near them middle of
the "engine" compartment) can reconfigure.
the nine batteries in the rear, . . .
. . . and nine batteries in the front
as one long string in series for speed
or two short strings in parallel for range.
