You may have heard of the Tesla Roadster, an american all-electric supercar capable of 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Now it seems as though the British are working on a similar concept, the Lightning GT. Check it out at www.lightningcarcompany.com. The Lightning GT seems to offer similar performance as the Tesla with an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 4 seconds. One major difference, apart from the superior design of the lightning, is that the Lightning uses four wheel-motors with regenerative braking. These motors are the same type as those used in the Volvo ReCharge concept launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year. If you have $300,000 burning in your pocket the company are currently taking reservations for the 2009 delivery.
