It is a two-seater electric roadster, powered by a rear-mounted 400NaN0 electric motor with a 70NaN0 overboost function. The electric motor draws power from a 16.5 kWh lithium-ion power cell[1] and the Forspeed has a claimed a maximum range of 84miles, and a top speed of 750NaN0.[2]
Charging of the power cell is by a 220 volt port which is located between the rear light clusters, and can be charged to 80% in 45 minutes. The design of the Forspeed includes solar cells incorporated into the wind deflector.
