This is the electric car that can hit zero to 60 mph in just 4seconds, with a maximum speed of 120 mph in one gear with no shifting. With over 1000 lb-ft of torque, and not much wider than a motorcycle at 39”, this electric car can carry two people (one behind the other) up to 80 miles on a charge.

The cars chassis is made of stainless steel, and the chrome moly roll cage meets Sports Car Club of America racing standards for safety. Its body panels are made of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and fiberglass, and its side impact bars offer four times the protection found in typical SUVs. The cars unique stability is derived from its low center of gravity, created by 1,100 lbs. of batteries under the floor, giving it a rollover threshold equivalent to a 5-star National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rating found in the lowest-slung sports cars.

The car produces no emissions and works from a set of lead-acid batteries that can recharge using any service up to 50 amps, providing enough power for a range of 40-80 miles.8 1/2′ L x 39″ W x 60″ H. (3,000 lbs.) It costs $108,000.
