i.d.e.a. kaz the electric limousine

The electric car is becoming more usual on the streets so a group of Japanese companies in collaboration with the designers of Italy’s IDEA Institute decided that it’s time for an electric limousine so they build KAZ (Keio Advanced Zero-Emission vehicle).

It took them 5 years and $4 million, but they did it. This environmental limousine can accommodate eight people, has eight wheels, weighs 6,578 lb, and it’s powered by 84 lithium-ion batteries that can work for about 186 miles with a single charge.


I know that doesn’t looks so great but let me tell you something about the performance. It has 6 electric engines that power the 6 wheals that are used to turn the car, each engine produce 74 hp and 74 lb.-ft. of torque this means that this huge car can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 7 seconds; reaches a quarter-mile in 15 seconds; and has a top speed of 193.3 mph. That’s impressing, isn’t it?

yes, you’re right, i don’t know why they spend so much money on making something so ugly, when they could try to fit an electric engine into a normal limo

I have to say that I am not a fan. Great for the environment, but ugly. It doesn’t compare to the gas gushing Limos.
