The Lightning GTS - Simply Amazing Electric Car

What goes from zero to sixty in four seconds without a single drop of gasoline?  You’re looking at it.  The Lightning GTS by Lightning Car Company of England is an all-electric sports car with plenty of battery-powered get-up-and-go. 

Its 700hp electric motor system makes for lightning-fast acceleration that climbs to a top speed of over 130mph.

The motor system is in the wheels, and this machine uses “regenerative braking” which recharges the battery every time you apply the brakes. Absolutely too cool for words, but that price tag is murder. The down payment on this beast? 50,000 British Pounds. That’s about $100,000 to the average Yank.
