Robert Llewellyn Rides in Lightning GT Electric Supercar

IT is a stunning piece of design, with the swept back cabin, long bonnet and huge wheels, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a gas-guzzling V12 supercar - but it isn’t. Powering the British designed and built supercar are two electric motors with a total power output of 400 hp. Factor in electric motors’ responsive nature and 100% of torque from 0 rpm, and you have a very pokey sports car which sprints from 0-100 km/h in under 5 seconds and on to a top speed currently limited to 200 km/h (125 mph).

The car has a range of 240 km (150 miles) and its battery pack can withstand over 10,000 charge-discharge cycles. If you are interested in this stunning-looking EV with classic sports car looks (and performance), it should be launched later this year.
