I apologize if there is a thread for this, but I didn't see one on a quick search.

Honda created a four-motor AWD pure EV version of the CR-Z which occasionally pops up on the web. It is an experiemental car, but one that intrigues me.

They took it to Pike's Peak in 2015:

More recently, Seyth Miersma of AutoBlog was allowed to drive it around a track:

I drove it, again for a pitifully short one lap, on a very tight handling track. Initial acceleration is blistering; not quite recreating the body-tingling magic of Tesla's Ludicrous Mode, but coming damn near. But the Model S doesn't have a patch on the way the CR-Z can dissect a corner. Push the accelerator to the floor as you apex, and the EV-powered SH-AWD system delivers blinding exit speed. The few corners I rounded felt impeccably neat, presumably because the three-degrees of rear steer (max) were tightening up the short-wheelbase CR-Z's already considerably direction-changing prowess.

I've long been a fan of the old CR-X and now the newer CR-Z. If Honda sold such a car with a reasonable price and range, I would get in line for one today!
