Once the immediate shock wore off, you’d discover that HST Automotive has developed a kit car running on batteries.

The batteries are produced by K2 Energy Solutions of Henderson, Nevada. K2 specializes in in rechargeable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries for electric vehicles.

No word on when this eco-friendly beauty will be available to the general public.

If you still prefer the smell of gasoline though, you can acquire a not quite so politically correct cobra kit car here .
