  • Abstract
    A flash of lightning is being unleashed at motor shows this summer. Designed and developed by The Lightning Car Company in Peterborough, UK, the Lightning GT electric car has impressive engineering roots. It also created the Ronart series of Jaguar-powered racers and Vanwall high-performance sports cars. The vehicle´s chassis has recently been re-designed mainly to accommodate the all-important battery pack.
