BURTON ELECTRIC

It's part of the same family as it's petrol burning brother, but there's one major differance: the fuel it uses.
The new Burton Electric is currently the world's most sustainable sportscar.
Build on the chassis' of a Citroën 2CV, the Burton is equipped with 31 lithium-iron-phosphate batteries that provide a safe storage of energie.
One of the unique qualities of the Burton Electric is that it remain a very light car, weighing in at about 740 kg. Especially for electric cars is true to say that each additional kilo goes at the expense of range, the distance that can be driven on a full charge.

In a short while there will be a conversion kit available, that will let everyone build or convert their fuel burning Burton into a Burton Electric.

As with the existing Burton, the Burton Electric can accessorized to taste and budget.

At the AutoRAI held in Amsterdam from 12 to 23 April 2011, the Burton Electric will be officially presented.
