Lightning GT 700hp Electric Car hits 60mph in under 4sec

We have drooled over the pics of the sweet looking and fast Tesla Roadster her at I4U before. Now we can drool over a new electric sports car from the UK from Lightning Car company called the GT.

One glance at this car and it looks British; I see reminders of the Jag E type in the front fenders and headlights for sure. This is a great looking car and from the looks, you might expect a massive V8 or even a V12 to be the power plant.

What does power this ride is some Altairnano batteries and PML electric motors good for a whopping 700 hp. That is one amazing power figure from an electric car. The manufacturer claims a 0-60 time of less than four seconds on certain models and claim a range of 250 miles on models in extended range trim. No word on price, but with these specs if you have to ask. Via Autoblog
