Its four-wheel hydraulic braking system provides perfect safety for you. Plus, this baby gives 50 miles to a single battery charge. FYI, Vatican City police use this buggy to keep the Pope secured. The Tonino Lamborghini is priced at approx. $11,500.

Venturi is known as the maker of beautiful electric vehicles like the Fetish and the Astrolab. Now they come up with this electric car at the price of $30.000. We can expect this cart in stores starting June 2007. The Venturi Eclectic is powered by either its photovoltaics, or the wind through a “force wheel”. Moreover, Venturi will be adding a single-seat variant in 2009. One more pic after the break.

Indulge yourself with this video of Jason Plato who’s taking the $500,000 electric-powered Venturi Fetish out for a road test. This car is the world’s first production two-seater electric sports car, and is produced by Venture in Monaco.
This one-of-the-kind car is considered rare and there will only be 25 vehicles worldwide. The car’s acceleration is approximately 300 horsepower (180 kW) at peak output, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. Its top speed is at just 105 mph, which is respectable considering that it only has one gear. It runs at a constant translation of 9.58 : 1, with a torque of 220 Nm. The batteries are all lithium ion accumulators, which recharge in about 16.5 hours at 16 amperes, or at 3.5 hours at 80 amperes.
Now, how cool is that!

Austrian motorcycle company KTM revealed photos of their very first car, the X-Bow. Some photos have recently been released of their radical-looking car. The first KTM car is not very distant from a motorcycle, but has four wheels and two seats. Weighing at 700kg with 220 or 300PS motor options, this KTM X-Bow really is a rocket. It also features the obligatory carbon monocoque, but has no doors and no roof. Priced at US$52,000, the car will debut at the Geneva motor show in March 2007 and is slated to ship by end of 2007.
