Eight Wheeled Electric Car - 0-60 mph in 4.2 Seconds (VIDEO)
0-60 mph in 4.2 Seconds

This eight wheels goes from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. This car named “Eliica” (Electric Lithium-Ion Car) which developped by Keio University and Professor Hiroshi Shimizu. The Eliica reached a top speed of 370 km/h at the Nardo test track in Italy, and the team’s goal is to beat the top speed of the world’s fastest production car (the Bugatti Veyron) and build a limited run of 200 production units, therefore becoming not just the fastest electric car in the world, but the fastest production car.”

 

the Eliica actually only seats the driver and three passengers – small consolation is that at an approximate US$320,000 a unit in prototype form, the car will still be in a limousine price range when manufactured in production quantities. The Eliica was shown in two guises at the Tokyo Motor Show recently – one a roadgoing prototype and the other a record-breaking speedster. (techeblog)
