McLaren F1 designer unveils T.27 EV city car

[DrPowell]

As if the LEAF, Volt, Mini-E, Roadster, Tesla S, and iMEV weren't enough, Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1, unveiled a new city car. More compact than Daimler AG's SMART, Murray's design will be available in ICE (T.25) and electric versions (T.27).

Weighing in at just 680 Kg, including battery, the three-seat T.27 EV has a quoted range of 80-100 miles on a full charge of its LiIon batteries. The car will be built by Zytek automotive.

Racing helmet and fire-retardent suit are optional.

650 ft lbs of torque out of a 25kw motor that fits in a mirco car. So they put in bus motor? Sorry they need to remove a digit.

Yeah, its actually 47 ft-lbs of torque.

Very spiffy! I'd be interested at perhaps an under $15,000 price point. I can live with the top speed for nearby destinations.
