Artega SE Makes Electric Cars Sporty

Electric cars have, until recently, been a lot like bran cereal. They’re good for you, but they can be bland and less than appealing. Just look at the Prius; it looks like an Apple product with wheels. Fortunately, automakers have realized this, and started turning out electric sports cars. But Artega’s might just be the greatest so far.

First revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the Artega SE has a lot going on under the hood. The two electric motors over the rear axle generate an impressive 380 horsepower, which translates out to a top speed of 155 miles per hour and hitting 60mph in four seconds. It’s an electric car you can drag race, finally!

It’s not all slickness and speed, alas. The SE, being fully electric, only has a 124 mile range, so you won’t be going on that many long road trips with this one.

Still, it’s nice to see automakers making an effort. Electric cars really are the future of driving, especially as gas keeps hitting new highs and oil proves to be politically as well as financially costly. It’s nice to know that in the future, we won’t be sacrificing speed, or style, for the sake of saving a few watts.
