The secret of this British...

The secret of this British performance success lies under the scooped bonnet, where a quad-turbo 6.0-litre V10 produces 1,175bhp. Acceleration promises to be devastating - a 0-60mph figure of 2.6 seconds is claimed, with power being driven through two huge rear wheels. Using special aluminium and composite construction, the two-seater weighs in at only 1,300kg - making it much lighter than most family cars. The bodywork and engine are the work of British engineer Al Melling, whose previous efforts include the AJPV8 and straight-six units used by struggling sports car maker TVR.



It"s lighter and more...

Space inside is boosted...

Space inside is boosted even further by the use of drive-by-wire technology and a novel electric drivetrain rather than a conventional, engine-powered set-up. Each wheel hub has a 27bhp motor, and all four combine to produce a respectable 108bhp. Power is supplied by a compact lithium-ion battery pack, stowed beneath the floor.

The Concept-EZ is expected to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
