Can any one guess what car this is ?
 

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

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.

That's the car that needs a new paint job! :1orglaugh

Looks like a Lotus Evora, but not quite.

Its got a typical Lotus front end.

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

Thought it was a lotus too.

Logo almost looks like a vette on hood.

Looks like a Mini logo... or Austin Martin?

You are right, looks like it.

Might be an Aston Martin.

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

Nope not an Aston Martin or Mini either

is it a mazda ?

no not a Mazda

This will prob give it away but it does not run on petrol and is said to accelerate faster than a V12 Ferrari

Im off to bed Ill check in tommorrow and see if anybody gets it, if not Ill tell you what it is

Tesla???

Nope not a Tesla

Nemesis , launched by the green energy provider Ecotricity

was pretty easy, just looked at the url of the photo you posted and back tracked

in other words you cheated

British looking car

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

and one image looked similar, the page it came from gave the name...
but you beat me to it.

Have you never watched a Clint Eastwood movie, I adapted, I over came, I improvised, don't be a hater

Yep lol you are correct

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

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 :1orglaugh

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.

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

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.

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

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.
