Electric car to compete in 2009 UK hillclimb championship
22nd October 2008
An electrically powered car designed by an ex-Formula One car designer will compete in the 2009 British Speed Hill Climb Championship.
The all-electric four wheel drive Bee Four electric racing vehicle (ERV) which is capable of producing 700hp or 520kW is being developed in conjunction with Martin Ogilvie, who was formerly a design engineer with the Team Lotus F1 team, and will be code named "Watt 4".
The Bee Four is part of a business plan by Bee Automobiles to produce a range of electric production cars. The business will be further funded by private equity.
Technical partners in the project include Oxford University and MIRA.
