http://www.gizmag.com If Caterham Seven-style open-wheelers are last century's pinnacle of pure performance machines, it seems the concept will survive the transition to the electric age. Evisol's ThoRR takes its body shape inspiration from a Lotus Super 7, and adds a 272hp Siemens electric motor with a Lithium Polymer battery pack. Quick, light, accurate and nearly silent apart from road noise, ThoRR fits the Caterham model of a driver's car - there's no power assisted steering or brakes, no ABS, gearbox or even a windshield, so you're in complete control and you feel completely connected to the road through your machine. A range of 140km if you're doing more than 100kmh limits ThoRR to being a Sunday afternoon thrasher, but new tech batteries like those in the Lightning GT will fix that in due time.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/thorr-the-fully-electric-open-wheeler/9226/#comment-9217 http://www.gizmag.com/thorr-the-fully-electric-open-wheeler/9226/#comment-9217 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:27:20 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/thorr-the-fully-electric-open-wheeler/9226/#comment-9208 http://www.gizmag.com/thorr-the-fully-electric-open-wheeler/9226/#comment-9208 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:35:27 -0500
