We have all seen the state of an electric car, haven't we? I was always ceartain that there could never be an electric car that was cool well it turns out I was wrong. Forget the G-wiz, forget the toyota prius plug in and forget NICE cars. Because, although its not affordable the coolness of this car is off the scale (considering it doesn't run on petrol). It's called the Lightning GT and guess which nation owns this car company, Germany? Japan? America? No, all wrong because we do, the UK's first cool electric car. You may be thinking someone has thrown a brick at my head but they haven't. I'm going to stop boring you now by telling you how cool it is and give you the stats:
0-60 in 4.0 seconds
650 bhp (same as the Lamborghini Gallardo)
Limitted to 130mph
12 year life expectancey
10 mins charging
£120,000
So as you can see the results of what Lightning have done are amazing, and it is due to be launched in 2009. I'm so glad we aren't going to be stuck with G-wiz's as out future way of transport. Can you imagine only being able to drive at 40mph and with the choice of your lights or wipers? Ok so its not exactly cheap but I think if they can do that they will be able to make a family car for a much better price. Its not even ugly either, it looks like a proper sports car! It makes me feel good to know we can match the same standards of other fast cars but with out having to worry about petrol.
