See the EX1 @gumball3000

At the starting grid of the supercar rally Covent Garden on May 26, EcoForecourt will set up a display of cars including the Peugeot EX1 and Racing Green Endurance team’s cross continental Radical SR-0.

Peugeot EX1 Electric Supercar

Peugeot EX1 Electric Supercar

On April 27th, Peugeot sent its radically styled EX1 electric ’round the ‘Ring, setting a record for battery-powered vehicles with a time of 9 minutes 1.338 seconds.

The Nürburgring actually consists of several interlacing tracks, with the main stretch, the Nordschleife, comprising almost 13 miles of hairpin turns, undulating surfaces and lengthy straightaways.

Peugeot’s electric sports car averaged a rather impressive 85.9 miles per hour on the demanding 12-plus mile Nordschleife track. The EX1 smoked the previous electric vehicle record of 9:51

The noise of the electric car sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie:

Shelby GT500CR | Awesome

OK so we have a winner for ShipMyCar’s Car of the Year award ;) The Shelby GT500CR by Classic Recreations….

Shelby GT500CR Venom

The GT500CR was the best of both worlds with the classic good looks of the original Shelbys combined with the performance of a 545 horsepower V8 and modern suspension system. Now Classic Recreations is taking it a step further with the introduction of the Shelby GT500 CR Venom. The new high performance model pairs a ProCharger F1-R centrifugal supercharger with the 427ci V8 to produce a tire-shredding 780 horsepower.

In addition to the supercharged engine, the suspension has been upgraded, larger brakes fitted, and wider wheels and tires have been added to handle the extra horsepower. Inside, race-style bucket seats, a 200 mph speedometer, and Venom badging have been added to the standard GT500CR components

Performance is incredible with 0-60 in less than 4 seconds….

Shipping a GT500CR Venom to UK
