Eliica: Electric Car 8-wheeled can Get up to 370 km per hour
As we submit some time ago, the electric car is identical with the environment-friendly / eco-friendly but slow speed, that things will be changed by Keio University in Japan.
They have created an electric car that has Eliica (Electric Lithium-Ion Car).
This electric car has a surplus that is where every 8 tires (wheeled) tires have power up to 80 horsepower and a length of almost the same as a small truck that is 6.7 m.
Using the 8-wheeled of car produces electricity that can be get up to speed 230 miles per hour (370 km per hour). And to achieve 0-100 km per hour, Eliica only takes about 4 seconds are even faster than the sports car with petrol fuel.
Estimated cost of making the car is US$ 320,000 and if they get investors, will begin to produce Ellica as many as 200 units for the first phase.
Speed is interesting but the use of 8 tires that make less interested.
