Detroit Electric SP:01 - Fastest All-Electric Car Set to Launch
Detroic Electric, the global electric vehicle maker, is in the final phase of testing its highly anticipated all-electric sportscar namely the SP:01. Built on the Lotus Elise chassis, this lightweight, two-seat, rear-wheel drive, open-top sportscar will be the world's fastest pure-electric production car. Just 999 examples of the SP:01 will be built and sold worldwide through a network of specialist retail partners.
The rear-wheel drive SP:01 features a compact, mid-mounted 201bhp electric motor, a lightweight, purpose-designed battery pack and all-new carbon-fibre bodywork. With the competency of touching 100kmph mark from standstill in just 3.7 seconds, the vehicle has a top-speed of 249kmph. Such impressive figures don't just make it the fastest electric car, it will also be one of the fastest sportscars out there in the world.
