2011 Honda EV-STER Concept

More suited to top-down fun in the city than the open road, 
the EV-STER Concept is a rear-wheel drive electric roadster with a pure electric drivetrain. 
It is powered by an electric motor and a 10kWh lithium-ion battery drivetrain 
that sends all the power to the roadster concept’s back wheels. 
It can be fully charged in 3 hours using a 200V outlet.
The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint takes 5 seconds. Top speed is 160 km/h (100 mph).
The adoption of carbon materials made it possible to reduce the vehicle weight contributing 
to the vehicle's high driving performance. Easy-to-operate twin-lever steering.
Based on positive feedback, Honda has already decided 
to green-light the project and put it into production. 
And could offer a more conventional gasoline engine in addition to the electric powertrain.
