Lightning Car Company

Back in 2007, UK-based Lightning Car Company (LCC) announched that it was going to make a 700-hp equivalent all electric sports coupe. That car officially made it's debut at the British Motor Show this week. The Lightning GT has a carbon fiber and Kevlar body that somewhat resembles an Aston Martin, with sleek low slung styling. But it's real claim to fame is that each wheel operates based on power provided by individual engines from Hi-Pa Drive. The integrated motor and drive electronics create power densities up to 20 times greater than conventional systems.
