LIGHTNING GT
The GT was one of the motorshow stars this year and its fabulous looks and luxurious interior could have earned it that title alone, but what gets it a place in our Five of the Best is its rather extreme powertrain. How does 700bhp sound to you? Pretty impressive, right? Well, the shock comes when you realise that the GT produces that output from electricity. Using the latest 'Nanosafe' batteries and a high-powered electric motor in each wheel, the Lightning Car Company is claiming a 0-62mph time in the region of four seconds and a top speed around 150mph. Yet that'll be done in a relatively noiseless car. Another interesting aspect of the GT is that it does away with any disc brakes, instead relying on the motors to slow the car, at the same time feeding charge back into the battery pack. Lightning is taking orders right now, with deposits for £15,000, which suggests that its new GT could come in at a reasonable £150,000. Sounds like extremely good value to us.
