200km/h top-speed. Range of 400km on a single charge. Just 6hrs to re-charge using a normal socket. This student-built car has been tried and tested all the way from Alaska to Argentina. The epic road trip was aimed at shattering the public perception of electric vehicles as slow, unattractive and of limited range.

We are a small team of students from Oxford Brookes University who have built a sustainable, lightweight, safe and low cost electric car and hope to challenge the top FS teams in Class 1A. The fundamentals of the car are largely based on last year’s Oxford Brookes entries, such as the chassis, which has been adapted from the 2010 Class 1 entry to fit the electrical drivetrain.

The Lightning GT prototype is a British-built, rear-wheel drive electric supercar with a fully customisable interior. When it goes into production it will utilise the latest lithium titanate battery nanotechnology to give a range of 180 miles and the ability to recharge in just 10 mins using an Ultrafast off-board charging system. Recharging using standard 13A domestic power takes 15 hrs.

Even before our bio-diesel Audi TT was finished, plans were taking shape for the 'what next' car. Convinced that electric vehicles would have a significant role to play in the future, an EV seemed the logical choice.

Completed in 2006, German Auto Spares Audi TT Mk1 is thought to be the first diesel version of Audi's ground-breaking sports coupe in the world. Although based on the Mk4 Golf , Audi unfortunately failed to offer us a 'TDi' version.
