It powered by a pair of 100 kW water-cooled electric motors, which are mated to a differential gearbox patented by GreenGT. Power supply comes from flexcell photovoltaic solar panels and with and two lithium-ion batteries. The specs at below.
Maximum speed: 275 km/h (171 mph)
0-100km/h (62mph): Under 4 seconds
Horsepower: 350 to 400

They hope to bring two GreenGTs to LeMans in 2011, and plan to produce 22 road-going models within the next three years.
