The Lightning GT has even yet to hit the markets (due next year with a price tag of nearly $200,000 USD), but the Lightning Car Company is already planning to release three more models. Now that’s particularly brave but with the price tag, this car has a market with those green Hollywood ecomentalists.

The “standard” GT boasts of 700 horses coming from its electric powerplant, a range of 250 miles for only 10 minutes of charging time. The car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds with a speed topping 130 mph.

Chairman of the Lightning Car Company Ian Sanderson, in an interview with AutoCar, said that: “We have deposits, and we’re pushing ahead with our plans. It’s our intention that it is the first of a number of models. A limo-sized model is planned, as we think a high-end chauffer-driven car with electric power would work well for executives travelling around cities.”

Possible models for development include a smaller sports car and an SUV. They might have a lot to prove with the GT first.

The Tesla Roadster was the first electric speedy car to get showcased and had some reliability issues.
