Went to a show and this one of the cars on display so before I do an article about it can any one guess what car it is ? Just blocked out some info on it so no cheating with photoshoping lol

garce · 08-23-2011, 04:23 PM

It looks exactly the same as - yet completely unlike - the one I don't have parked in my garage.

Trick answer - I don't have a garage.

vsex · 08-23-2011, 04:24 PM

That's the car that needs a new paint job!

Looks like a Lotus Evora, but not quite.

Mr Pheer · 08-23-2011, 04:30 PM

No not a Lotus, but it is said to accelerate faster than a Ferrari V12

alias · 08-23-2011, 04:36 PM

Might be an Aston Martin.

Yngwie · 08-23-2011, 04:45 PM

Looks like someone beat me to the punch, but I'm still thinking the same.

halfpint · 08-23-2011, 04:46 PM

Haha - tried that then searched Google Images for "electric sportscar"

but you beat me to it.

Yep lol you are correct

It is faster than a V12 Ferrari, 0-100mph in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 170mph

It is powered by wind or the green electricity produced by Ecotricity?s windmills, delivered by the grid. You can drive it for about 100-150 miles depending on the way its driven, before having to recharge it The charging times are under 2 hours from empty to full with optional fast charger, 8-9 hours with 13A overnight charger. It Has 0g CO2 emmisons when charged with green electricity from Ecotricity windmills

Specs

Top Speed: 170mph
0-100mph: 8.5 seconds
Cost: £1 million GPB
Time to Build 18 months
Power Two 125 kW motors, giving 330bhp
Power Source 96 x 100 A/h 4.2 V pouch lithium polymer cobalt cells
Max Torque 600Nm
Transmission Two stage belt driven reduction transaxle

They had some mad electric cars, bikes/scooters and quads on show and you could test drive some of them. Iv got some movie footage and a load of pics which i will be putting up on the site shortly

Si · 08-24-2011, 02:28 PM

Oh only £1,000,000?

Mind you, petrol must be £5 per litre by now, will make that back in no time if the electricity is cheap enough

There are a lot of electric offerings these days that are mind blowing, even electric dirt bikes.
Funny thing is that most of the biggest break throughs in battery technology was done during WW2 in german u boats.

£1.35/litre today

No way anybody driving that car like a sportscar rather than a boring hypermiler is going to get a decent range.

L-Pink · 08-24-2011, 02:45 PM

All that research an development and they put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

JamesGw · 08-24-2011, 02:48 PM

Not bad. Kind of annoying that you'd have to recharge it for 2 hours, though. Should come with additional battery packs or something for extended use. Dunno how big they'd be though.

halfpint · 08-24-2011, 03:15 PM

One of the main reasons why most of these electric cars wont get very far on the market place as a "Big seller" is because of their ridiculous high prices. I was talking to one of the reps from Nissan becuase they had the Nissan leaf on display, the price tag on that was 25k GBP You can buy something much nicer for 15k GPB. Even the rep admitted until the price of these "Green cars" come down they will never sell many of them

edgeprod · 08-24-2011, 03:24 PM

A lot of people are using the Lotus chassis. The Venom GT is probably the sexiest of the bunch ... I think the Venom is built on the Exige platform.
