German tuning firm, Irmscher, is coming to the Geneva Motor Show with a peculiar concept car that it?s tagging as the ?I SELECTRA?. Now if you?re wondering if the concept looks remarkably similar to a Caterham 7, it?s because it actually is one. Or was one, depending on how you see it.
See, before putting their touches on the concept, the German tuner went out and stripped down a Caterham 7 and then fitted it with its own electric powertrain. We don?t really know whether to be flattered or disappointed on Irmscher?s decision to completely undress a car as iconic as a 7, but that?s an issue for another time.
What we do have is a car that does have the power to make the Caterham 7 proud, especially since it achieves those numbers by using an electric motor, which is always a good thing given the growing paradigm shift towards eco-friendly vehicles.
Details on the Irmscher i SELECTRA after the jump.
