Westfield Sportscars working on an electric race car, the iRACER (Video)

Westfield is mainly known for building the Lotus 7, but looks like even they can’t stay off the electric car race. Their iRACER is a track focused electric vehicle with a target total weight of 600 kg, powered by two motors delivering 80kW, the final vehicle will have a sub 5 second 0-60mph time, with an electronically limited top speed of 110mph.

Batteries will be stored under the floor to lower the centre of gravity. For a greater range and for better weight distribution, additional batteries can also be positioned towards the front of the vehicle.
