Lighteing has unveiled it’s brand new all-electric GT sports car in London. This all-electric sports car is one of two cars in the world that rely on lithium-titanate battery technology and can be fully charged in just a few minutes. Though you’ll have to find somewhere with three-phase industrial power to take advantage of the quick charge, Lightening claims the car’s price tag of $239,400 is well worth it for the new battery technology. Interested in a Lightening GT of your own? They’re rumored to be coming out early-mid 2009.

Can’t take the long wait list for a Smart ForTwo? Another fuel-efficient and budget-friendly minicar is on the way. Although, you won’t want to take it beyond city limits.
Produced by the Nice (No Internal Combustion Engine) electric car company and designed by Giugiaro of Italdesign, the MyCar is a two-person plug-in vehicle debuting this week at the British Motor Show in London (July 23 - Aug 3). While the Nice MyCar produces no carbon emissions and achieves a 40-mile range in normal city driving, the electric minicar tops out at 40mph, as compared with 90mph for the ForTwo and 65mph (and a 110-mile range) for the battery-powered Think City- which is due to hit the U.S. by the end of next year.

Bike? Car? No, it’s a Proxima. This concept blends two vehicle types better than we’ve seen since we started covering the BallerRide space. From the front this concept looks like a car, from the rear a bike, either way we’d like to see the Proxima take off down the freeway. Alvino Design has come up with this sleek aegonomic design that includes two tandum seats inside. If you’re in the market for a bike/car hybrid, than the Proxima is for you.

Mexico City based Mastretta Design has unveiled plans to produce a lightweight sportscar that will go on sale in Mexico and the UK for less than $66,000. And surprisingly, we’re impressed. The two-seater will be powered by a 2.0-liter 240 horsepower engine, allowing the car to hit a top speed of 150mph and perform the o-60 sprint in 5.0 seconds due to its light 1,985-pound weight. Lifestyle Automotive will distribute the Mastretta MXT in Europe and sales are expected to commence in January with 80 units up for grabs in the first year. We’re excited to see more from Mastretta as progress on the MXT continues.
