Fastest Electric-Powered Sports Car? – Lightning

If the sultry supercar lines are familiar, that’s because they were taken wholesale from the 1999 Ronart Lightning. Rather than deriving its power from a Mustang engine, however, the new Lightning uses a quartet of in-wheel electric motors to produce more than 700 hp. Thundering to 60 mph in less than five seconds, the Lightning will hit a top speed of 130 mph, and cruise for some 200 miles on a full charge. But the Lightning is remarkable not merely for how quick it looks, or even for how quickly it moves, but for how quickly it recharges. The company decided to eschew lithium-ion batteries for a highly advanced nano-titanate cell (30 of them, in fact) that will charge to capacity in less than 10 minutes at special hihj-voltage charging stations. The Lightning should fetch about $240,000 when it hums into showrooms a year to 18 months from now.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    I am impressed, I have to say. Very rarely do I encounter a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your thoughts is outstanding; the issue is something that not a lot of people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

Your opinion is important; the matter is something that not many people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
