SIM-Drive Corporation, a leader in sustainable design, aim to establish transpiration infrastructure which will diminish environmental burden with ground-breaking "in-wheel-motor" electric vehicle. Their first car named SIM-LEI (“Leading Efficiency In-Wheel motor”) is tested on Driving Range , the 4-seater just needs 4.8 seconds to go from 0km/h to 100km/h and has a top speed of 150km. Its maker says the 333km driving range were reached under “general urban traffic conditions in Japan” and with 24.5kWh battery capacity.

SIM-LEISIM-LEIThis is Porsche 911 Carrera 4S category without killing the polar bears. Styling does need some attention, but that could come later when Italian Designers get their hands on next prototype.

SIM-Drive engineers also decided to put the batteries and inverters under the floorboards rather than in either trunk, likely because it brings them closer to the in-wheel motors; doing so has the added benefit of allowing far more leg room up front than most are used to with Japanese cars.
