Green GT's All-Electric Supercar Unveiled

Mike writes "Swiss auto company Green GT recently released the first details on a svelte all-electric supercar that is being heralded as the most powerful electric race car ever built. Designed with the 2011 Le Mans race in mind, the Twenty-4 will boast a sleek carbon fiber chassis and twin 100-kw electric motors totaling 400 hp — enough to push the vehicle from 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat, and to a top speed of 171 mph. GreenGT's head engineer Christophe Schwartz has stated that 'The GreenGT Twenty-4 design study could become our 2011 Le Mans Prototype electric racer, or it could even become an electric road-going supercar. There is a possibility to do both!'"

Nice car

Pity about that short extension cord.

How cool would it be if they put a slot with 2 metal strips either size of it all around the race track, and powered the car via that?

Let's see, grabbing the car by the wheels to lift it? Batteries falling out of the car from 2ft? Dropping a car down 2ft onto the fresh set of batteries? Then you go on about microwave beams shooting around the track?

You're looking to make this race exciting aren't you?

They should really make a race where you can enter any stock car. But what would you call such a race?

endurance racing challenge

Every 15 minutes the driver will have to announce whether or not they are there yet?
