Exciting Green Concept Cars at Goodwood

Generously provided by Daimler AG

This plug-in, electric version of the diminutive smart fortwo city car has a 75mph top speed and a 68-mile range. Co-developed with British engineering company Zytek the EV (for Electric Vehicle) is already being produced in small numbers for market trial with corporate clients, and smart is working with green electricity suppliers to find a zero emissions solution from 'well to wheel'. In urban conditions the EV is actually more responsive off the mark than its petrol-powered stablemate, benefiting from the instant peak torque generation of its electric motor. And of course, it's also road tax and London congestion charge-free.
