Eco Factor: Zero-emission car powered by electricity.
While most auto fans are waiting in anticipation for Fiat to release an electric variant of the 500, Atomik Cars has taken the Abarth version of the retro-metro machine and have unveiled a cleaner prototype. The company will be showcasing the vehicle at the 2010 Top Marques Monaco in April.
The vehicle is said to be powered by an AC brushless synchronous motor that is said to be equivalent to that of a 300hp engine. The Atomik 500 reaches 60mph in just 5.6 seconds and is powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery pack of unknown capacity. The vehicle also features a ceramic heating system that warns the driver that the “Peltier A/C modules w/o gas” needs to be cooled.
