Green GT's All-Electric Supercar Unveiled

Posted by kdawson on from the hoping-bugatti-picks-up-this-tech dept.

Mike writes "Swiss auto company Green GT recently released the first details on a svelte all-electric supercar that is being heralded as the most powerful electric race car ever built. Designed with the 2011 Le Mans race in mind, the Twenty-4 will boast a sleek carbon fiber chassis and twin 100-kw electric motors totaling 400 hp — enough to push the vehicle from 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat, and to a top speed of 171 mph. GreenGT's head engineer Christophe Schwartz has stated that 'The GreenGT Twenty-4 design study could become our 2011 Le Mans Prototype electric racer, or it could even become an electric road-going supercar. There is a possibility to do both!'"

    The quote at the bottom of the page when I opened this article is "America is a stronger nation for the ACLU's uncompromising effort." -- President John F. Kennedy

    Kind of ironic since Oswald was a member of the ACLU...
