Ellica: 8-Wheeled Electric Car
![]() What’s ugly as can be, has 8 wheels, and goes from zero to sixty miles per hour in 4.2 seconds? It’s Eliica, the $260,000 electric-powered vehicle built by the Keio University in Tokyo. Eliica has been around for a while, but it’s state-of-the-art as it uses nothing but Li-Ion batteries for power and can achieve a top speed of 230mph with a range of 185 miles (obviously not at top speed). For a bit of flair, Eliica even sports gull wing doors. Obviously a case of excess in every way, but it’s interesting to see what can be done with a little know-how and a lot of money. More details can be found on Eliica’s official bog, provided of course you can read Japanese. http://www.gearlive.com/index.php/news/art...c-car-03060939/ ![]() "Discuss" ![]() -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
