The X1 is - or was - a truly inspiring EV. With 0-60mph (96km/h) times of just 3.07 seconds, 0-100mph (160km/h) in 6.87 seconds, 0-100-0 in 11.2 seconds, 170mpg equivalent and lateral g-rating of 1.2, the car was every bit the equal of its combustion-engined counterpart, and a supercar, at least in terms of performance, in its own right.
A return to cheap oil on top of the weak car market have driven the super-fast EV car into oblivion, though the company won't completely fade away, reports CNN. Ian Wright, the man behind the X1, has decided to instead move forward with production of electric powertrains, including the batteries, software and other hardware that can be used by electric vehicle companies in their own ventures.
