The UK-based Lightning Car Company announced that its battery-powered GT will enter a “late prototype” phase soon and hopes to have the vehicle production-ready by spring of 2012. Significant changes have been made since 2007: The proposed in-wheel motors have been ditched for a rear-drive setup and performance numbers have been modified to account for changes made to the drivetrain and electric motors. The car will run from 0-60 miles per hour in five seconds and range is expected to exceed 100 miles.
