The Lightning car company is proud to release one of the UK's first electric sports cars for 2007.
Combining classic, British sports car design with racing car technology and state of the art NanoSafe™ battery power and Hi-Pa Drive™ electric motor innovation, the Lightning has been developed with exhilarating performance front of mind. Whilst its head-turning looks will appeal to the most discerning of drivers, unlike other sports cars, the Lightning is also easy on the conscience. With virtually no polluting emissions, this energy-efficient car uses clean technology and will have the ultimate green rating। Following production of several Lightning petrol prototypes, the electric Lightning GT, sports and extended range versions are now available to pre-order.
100% ELECTRIC POWER - Lightning technology delivers ultra smooth, full power immediately from zero rpm. True to its name, the Lightning GTSE can be charged in approximately 10 minutes for over 250 miles of motoring, making long journeys a breeze. Full regenerative braking means the battery receives charge every time you decelerate.
UNCOMPROMISING PERFORMANCE - 0-60mph in just 5 seconds will be standard for the Lightning and we believe the sport version will provide an incredible 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds. A real driver's car!
COMMANDING PRESENCE - full size, luxury spec. GT with carbon fibre/Kevlar crafted bodywork makes an impressive statement wherever you drive.
EXEMPT FROM ROAD CHARGES - with limited emissions, you can forget congestion charges and road tax.
PHENOMENAL ECONOMY - 10 x cheaper to run. Using domestic electric power for charging costs around 2.2p per mile vs. 22p for the equivalent petrol engine.
SAFER THAN THE AVERAGE - The Lightning has no large fuel tank। Instead it incorporates a state of the art NanoSafe™ battery system। The composite monocoque structure uses the same technology as that used in F1 to protect the driver.
Electric power explained
Electric vehicles have maximum available power at the wheels at any speed, unlike a petrol engine where maximum power is only obtained high up in the rev range. To deliver this power to the road the Lightning will use electronically controlled traction control which negates wheel spin and unbalance in the power being applied.
The stunning performance of the Lightning GTS will likely surpass almost all large engine high performance sports cars in the 0-60mph range. The sensation of harnessing power and performance will be felt by the sheer exhilaration of the power pushing you back in your seat as the car accelerates.
Because there is no engine, the Lightning has a maintenance-free motor with just a few parts and together with the control electronics and special batteries, will not need anywhere near the servicing of other sports cars।
