Citroen Survolt - Electric dream racer

So sexy it should probably come wrapped in a condom, this little beauty is Citroen's prototype electric racing car - probably not destined for production (insert sad face), and almost certainly far too expensive if by some alcoholic miracle the suits at Citroen did give it the green light for production, the Survolt is one of those 'if only' cars - PLEASE make it Citroen!

Extremely rare in the world of racing, Survolt’s full-electric drivetrain combines dynamic, sporting performance with environmental consideration.  Specially developed with compact dimensions and a light-weight frame (1.15 tonnes), Survolt features a tubular chassis, a flat underside with extractor and full carbon bodywork, all combining to make a genuine emissions-free, all-electric racing car. Propelled by two electric motors with a combined power of 300bhp, Survolt is capable of exceptional performance with a top speed of 260kph (162mph) and a 0-100kph (0-62mph) time of under five seconds.  The concept’s twin 140kg lithium-ion batteries each boast a 31kw capacity, which allows Survolt to cover 200km (124 miles). The Survolt uses technology bought in from Electric racing car manufacturer GreenGT, who are currently working on a super exciting Hydrogen/Electric le-mans racer for 2013
