370kph Electric Car

It ain’t cheap, but Hiroshi Shimizu has finally shown off his latest electric car; Eliica. It accelerates faster than a Porsche 911 Turbo, and will cruise for 200 miles on a one hour charge. Interestingly, Shimizu believes that the Japanese motor industry is deliberately ignoring his invention and instead focusing on complex hybrids, as a simple electric engine dramatically lowers the cost of manufacturing, and will lead to a flood of cheap, mass produced cars from Chinese factories
