Toyota 2000GT Electric Car. Sexiest Electric Car Ever?!

I found this on Japanese Nostalgic Car today.

Not so fast, Toyotaku. Before you indulge in the schadenfreude of your Nissan-lovin’ counterparts, swallow the bitter pill of a classic Toyota 2000GT modified to run on a 120kW (161 hp) electric motor fed by a solar panel grafted onto the once-shapely hood.

Built by a team called the Crazy Car Project, which consists of Toyota, Denso, Aisin, Koito and Panasonic engineers, the goal was to build a solar electric vehicle capable of 200 kph (124 mph). To maintain the feel of the original 2000GT the interior was kept largely in tact (minus the rosewood ornamentation) with gauges now displaying things like battery life, and the sound of the 3M twin-cam piped in via speaker.

It's pretty cool looking in a retro sort of way but the prettiest electric car award for me goes to the Fiskar Karma followed by the Tesla Model S.
