Ever imagined that an electric car could beat the Enzo and the One (McLaren F1) in the top speed race ?? The Ellica (short for Electric Lithium-Ion battery Car ) is out to do that.

Read more abt the Ellica here : Auto Express

Did someone say that the 2005 Hyundai Accent is ugly?
This Ellica may be the fastest car in the world, but, it is the ugliest too.

Mostly..the cars made by groups or small companies always use lights, mirrors, and other small stuff made my big car manufacturers to complete their car... that helps them in saving some bucks!! And usually...this stuff used goes well with the car!!!

I can't believe we'll have to drive cars without a petrol engine in the future!! Agreed that the power is there, but wht abt the music of a sweet revving petrol engine??

Did i hear someone say Hyundai??
This has to be the fastest and ughhhhliest in the competition.But i dunt understand one thing,if its fast enough why not make it look a lil better and more stylish than this one?
I mean u've got the performance but no style,so improvise on that.It might sell better!
