A Czech Republic-based automotive start-up by the name of MW Motors has unveiled a gorgeously styled electric coupe, dubbed the 'Luka EV,' that brings together the eco-friendly benefits of electric motoring with a classy, retro appearance and an unbelievably light frame.
This particular electric coupe is powered by a quadrant of in-wheel hub motors that are capable of delivering a total energy output of 66 horsepower, with a 21.9 kilowatt-hour battery pack ensuring a range of up to 300 kilometers.
While the vehicle looks comfortably expansive for a two-seater car, it's surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at only 815 pounds. All in all, this vehicle shows that newly emerging car start-ups are more than capable of taking on the giants of the automotive industry when it comes to innovating electric vehicles with unique aesthetics.
