Detroit Electric Takes A Page From Tesla With New SP:01 Sportscar - Will It Have A Chance?

Start-up electric vehicle maker Detroit Electric unveiled Monday the final exterior design of its battery-powered SP:01 sports car before the company’s promised production start early next year.

The design varies slightly from versions shown since the car’s prototype unveiling at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show. It features a fastback configuration designed to enhance airflow and reduce turbulence, and includes changes to the front air intake and outlet ducts, which have been reshaped to optimize airflow to the heating and cooling system
