NextEV unveils its all-electric supercar

Shanghai-based electric-vehicle startup NextEV unveiled an all-electric supercar in London, with which it aims to challenge such high-speed models as Ferrari's LaFerrari, McLaren's P1 and Porsche's 918.

The car, with a top speed of 313 km/h, was designed and will be manufactured in the United Kingdom, was unveiled at a ceremony in London's Saatchi Gallery.

"We are the first car with racing car performance but ... built with the look of a luxury car. Therefore we are bridging the gap between performance car and cars in everyday life," said David Hilton, senior design director at NextEV.
