Debuting at the London Motor Show, the Lightning GT combines classic British sports car design with an all-electric powertrain featuring in-wheels motors and NanoSafe batteries which allow for a 10-minutes recharge time. First deliveries will begin in 2009.
At the 2008 London Motor Show the Lightning car company has presented the Lightning GT, a performance-focused all-electric sportscar with in-wheels motors, full regenerative braking system and NanoSafe battery system.
The goal is to achieve a short 10-minutes recharge time which would allow a range of up to 200 miles.
The electric-powered Lightning follows the production of several gasoline vehicles and is currently in an advanced prototype construction stage.
The lightweight construction consists of a composite monocoque structure combined with a carbon fibre/Kevlar bodywork.
The tires - developed by Cooper Tire - are 245/45R20 in size.
The 700+ hp powertrain allows for high performance figures, which include a 0-60 mph sprint time of 4.0 seconds and a top speed of more than 130 mph.
Lightning Car Company is currently accepting pre-orders of the GT, which is scheduled to be delivered in 2009.
Customers will have the possibility of tailoring the vehicles to their needs, by ordering a 'made to measure' interior or by requesting a modified bodywork.
