Electric race car to star at Top Gear Live

Citroen’s exciting electric race car concept, the Survolt has been confirmed as one of the star attractions at this year’s Top Gear Live show at London’s Earls Court.

 

Presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, the car’s appearance at the arena will give UK fans a rare opportunity to see the striking concept in action.

Specially developed with compact dimensions and a light-weight frame (1.15 tonnes), the Survolt features a tubular chassis, a flat underside with extractor and full carbon bodywork, all combining to make a genuine emissions-free, all-electric racing car.

Propelled by two electric motors with a combined power of 300bhp, Survolt is capable of exceptional performance with a top speed of 162mph and a 0-62mphtime of under five seconds.  The concept’s twin 140kg lithium-ion batteries each boast a 31kw capacity, which allows Survolt to cover 124 miles on a single charge.

MPH The Prestige & Performance Motor Show featuring Top Gear Live will take place at Earls Court, London from November 4-7 and the NEC in Birmingham between November 11-14.
