GreenGT Twenty-4, the 2011 Electric Le Mans Racer

Swiss yet-unknown environmentally-friendly manufacturer GreenGT has come out into the spotlight with an interesting concept. Called the Twenty-4, the electric car the Swiss will supposedly build for the 2011 Le Mans race is expected to be "the most powerful and cutting edge electric race car ever built", according to carplatform.com.

The Twenty-4 is the first design study made by GreenGT. The renderings you can see are not yet an actual car (apart for the green prototype), but they are supposed to give us a glimpse into how the future electric racer will look like.

"The GreenGT design study could become our 2011 Le Mans Prototype electric racer or it could even become an electric road going supercar. There is a possibility to do both! The advantage of electric cars is that the only difference between a GreenGT electric racecar and road car is the electronic programming. It would be amazing to create two prototype race cars to compete in the 2011 24 hours of Le Mans and 22 road going supercars,” Christophe Schwartz, head designer for GreenGT said in a release.

The technical specifications are still in the dream stage, but the builder has released the figures which they hope the Twenty-4 will put out. The car is hoped to get from a standstill to 100 in under 4 seconds and reach an estimated 275 km/hour (171 mph).

Below we list some of the other technical features of the GreenGT Twenty-4. We leave you to them, but we can't help from saying we anxiously awaiting further news from GreenGT.
