Eco Factor: Zero-emission supercar powered by lithium-ion batteries.
North Carolina-based Li-ion Motors has revealed its all-electric beast, which is being claimed to be the first all-American electric supercar. Christened the INIZIO, the electric roadster fits two individuals and can purportedly hit a top speed of 170mph with a single charge lasting about 250 miles.
The supercar hits a speed of 60mph in 3.4 seconds and seats the two occupants in adjustable, leather Recaro seating with heating and cooling systems installed to make the ride comfortable. The vehicle also includes a built-in 12-inch subwoofer, digital surround sound system, integrated navigation system, DVD player and rotational doors that rise on a 90-degree angle.
The company also claims that the lithium-ion powerhouse can be recharged 2500 times with a full recharge taking up to 8 hours. The vehicle is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2011 with a starting price of $139,000.
