Nemesis Electric Sports Car

The 48 year old entrepreneur Dale Vince has commissioned a team of engineers the design of a Lotus Exige on an electric sports car, bought second-hand and then called Nemesis. The engineers have taken to extending the platform 9 cm, replacing the tank engine and electric traction and the need for changing some parts of the body. Nothing striking or innovative, if not for the method of payment: Vince has in fact received a government contribution of 400,000 pounds (470,000 euro) through a grant of funds applicable to the British Government’s Technology Strategy Board, which was introduced by the British government support for individuals and commercial reality in developing solutions and eco-friendly technologies. Dale Vince has had to shell out so “only” £ 600,000 to complete the transformation. According to the notice of the Nemesis accelerates from 0 to 160 km / h in 8.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 217 km / h and mile runs 100/150 (161/241 km) with a charge, while the time required for the time necessary for recharges the batteries ranges from 2 hours with high-capacity electrical system at 8 / 9 hours with standard network. The Nemesis will be unique.
