Lightning GT : 2012

The Lightning GT combines elegant and timeless British sports car design with a super strong aluminium composite structure, competition bred chassis technology and a futuristic all electric supercar powertrain.

Lightning has developed an automotive application of the NanoSafe™Lithium Titanate battery system - already well proven in arduous US military applications - to provide the ultimate in clean energy storage: stable, safe operation at extreme ambient temperatures; ultrafast recharging yet an exceptionally long cycle life; power capacity that not only supports supercar performance but can absorb full regenerative braking energy.

Motive power is delivered by a world class DC synchronous twin motor based drivetrain and is controlled by an advanced electronic management system that automatically distributes the optimum required torque to each driven wheel under all driving conditions.

For those who demand nothing less than the ultimate new age supercar; exclusivity, beauty, exhilarating performance, a minimum 250km real world operating range and zero tailpipe emissions, the Lightning GT will be available from late 2012.
