Lightning
Lightning GT
The Lightning GT was a battery-electric sports car under development by the Lightning Car Company, a London-based privately owned and funded business. The project was initially unveiled to the public in July 2008 at the British International Motor Show, with deliveries originally expected in 2009, but without funding the project has effectively been on hold in recent times. The GT was displayed at the 2014 Low Carbon Vehicle Event with Magtec. The GT was displayed at the London Motor Show in May 2016 as one of the main features and placed in front of the show entrance where anecdotally it received great critical acclaim for its enduring styling. The Lightning was in Paris where it was shown by a French manufacturer to their Asian partner with a view to a long term EU and Asia association. The silver Lightning GT show car was accepted for placement at the British Motor Museum where it is currently on display.
