Lightning GT

Gorgeous British sports coupe is mean and very green

Here’s proof that electric cars can be dream machines too. Built by the Lightning Car Company, based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, the GT mixes elegant looks with electric power. Powered by 30 batteries, it generates 36kW and can be charged in only 10 minutes. With the help of regenerative braking, the firm hopes the car will have a range of nearly 200 miles and a 0-60mph time of less than four seconds. It’s powered by four electric motors - one for each wheel - and if investors are found to help develop it, the firm hopes to start sales in the next few year. However, it won’t come cheap. Prices are expected to be around the £120,000 mark.
