Wrightspeed X1
July 9th, 2008 by john
Many people have heard of the Tesla electric roadster, but there’s another fast electric car around the San Francisco bay area too: the Wrightspeed X1.
Unlike the Tesla, the X1 is still a one-of-a-kind proof of concept vehicle that is not available for purchase. Whereas the Tesla gets its chassis design, and some other components, from Lotus, the X1 gets its chassis from another British car company: Ariel. Based on the Ariel Atom design, the look of the X1 is a little different too, bearing more of a resemblance to track racing cars or some of the classic British kit car designs like the Caterham 7.
