Saving the world – the Lightning GT

There’s a company in Great Britain that set its mind on manufacturing a sports car for the hard core tree huggers.That company called ADN they want to make an electric car. Even though they started with a bunch of big ambitions and very little time it seems that the impossible has been achieved:a super sport car with ZERO CO2 emissions.It will be called the Lightning GT and promises great performance,excellent handling and a big kiss from the Earth.

With its 4 electric engines that together develop 700 HP squeezed from powerful batteries,the GT reaches 100 km/h in 4 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h.It has to be said that there will also be a version with 650 HP.

OK,we’ve seen the nice side but about every electric car’s nightmare: mileage? The manufacturer says that after 10 minutes on the plug you can eat about 400 km of road which is amazing.

The first car will reach the market next year but if you want one you have to make a deposit of 15.000 pounds now.

The electrics are coming, The electrics are coming! New batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, high speeds, high mileage, fewer moving parts to wear out, lighter bodies, quieter operation; and like its aircraft counterpart, the radial engine, the piston engine will be relegated to museums and the occasional yesteryear sideshow, and we will be free of the benzene molecule and cancer will slip to the back burner with gasoline, diesel and OPEC. Thank God for progress!
