this is so GM...
"GM demonstrated the technology on an electric Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck at a suburban Los Angeles race track.
Wheel hub motors — built by Italy’s Lucchi R. Elettromeccanica Srl — were bolted to the rear wheels of the S-10. Each motor generates about 25 kilowatts of power. The addition of the motors boost torque to the front-wheel drive, four-cylinder vehicle by 60 percent."
I thought this was interesting! Either the reporter totally blew it, or GM did. First it's an electric S-10 (didn't think they were still making them), then it's a front wheel drive, four cylinder vehicle - or maybe I read the article wrong...
