American ZAP company plans to show-off its conceptual ZAP-X crossover electric vehicle during the upcoming NADA annual meeting and exhibition, February 3 to 6, 2007.
Although still in pre-production phase, the ZAP-X crossover said to feature all-wheel-drive, 350 mile driving range (an auxiliary power unit is planned to support longer distance journeys) and stunning 10 minutes recharge time. The vehicle is based on the award-winning Lotus APX prototype CUV.
Featuring light-weight aluminum chassis, "evolutionary" in-hub electric motors and advanced battery management systems, the vehicle is capable of producing up to 644 hp in all-wheel-drive mode and a potential top speed of 155mph.
There is still no info on when the vehicle will be available to order and how much it will actually cost but I'm pretty sure it will be much less expensive than the upcoming hybrid version of the Porsche Cayenne SUV.
