“In search of a more economic vehicle, we often wished for a model that distinguished aggressive styling, and that would be worthy of the racetrack. TORQ’s perfect balance of power, driveability and aggressive looks create its own class”, said Chris Anthony, founder of Epic EV.
TORQ Roadster is proof that you do not have to compromise performance to adopt energy saving and efficient technologies.
This year will be produced only 50 copies of this vehicle and the TORQ Roadster will be officially launched on April 6 and will retail for $65,000. A waiting list for 2014 is set up that anyone with a $5,000 deposit can join.
