Electro

Historically eletric car design has been less than super, more tin can than a luxurious mode of transport. Is this because the general opinion is that if it’s green it’s not sexy? All those in favour of saving the planet must be hemp clad and have an abundance of body hair?

Step forward Tesla and Shelby Super Cars. Though Tesla got an unfair bashing from Mr Clarkson on Top Gear last year regarding power, the Roadster has received multiple thumbs up in other reviews. Camilla Cavendish of the Times even claims she has fallen in love with it.

Shelby Super Cars has released details of its new Ultimate Aero EV which looks as though it’s been modelled on the Ferrari Enzo though obviously will be kinder to the environment as well as much cheaper to run.

These car manufacturers have thankfully proven you can look cool in an electric car. Even the Governator of California has ordered a Tesla. Imagine him squeezed into one of those old tin cans…
