Changing the misconception that electric cars can never perform like their gasoline counterparts, Shelby Supercars has launched the Ultimate Aero EV, a car that can reach a top speed of 208 mph on nothing other than electricity. The silent car won’t produce any noise, but its electric drive train will silently churn out a staggering 1000 horsepower and 800lb-ft of torque.

The car would be able to accelerate from standstill to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds. The Ultimate Aero EV will be equipped with “Charge on the Run,” enabling the car’s batteries to be fully recharged in just 10 minutes from the mains, offering the car a range of between 150 and 200 miles. The car with three-speed automatic gearbox should hit the market by June.

The Dark Side:

The car is unlike any other electric or even non-electric cars ever produced. The same is expected with the cost of this car, which undoubtedly will burn holes in your pocket.
