"We are pleased with the design of hybrid and electric vehicles involved in an accident, because a lot of mechanical equipment, motor sports, the challenges of shares - lightweight components, aerodynamic efficiency and innovative packaging solutions, we again had a single street that cars from the beginning of the search costs for composite structures systems, efficiency and service of new passengers.
The development of the car was supported by a grant for research and development in the Regional Development Agency emda East Midlands area.
