We are in the process of developing the prototype electric Lightning and until such time as we have completed our engineering programme cannot confirm the performance of the car, however, it is our ambition for Lightning to encompass and achieve the following:

100% ELECTRIC POWER - That delivers ultra smooth, full power immediately from zero rpm. True to its name, the Lightning GT could be charged in approximately 10 minutes for up to 200 miles of motoring, which would make 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 which 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. 26.4p 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.
