packing a battery-powered twin electric motor set-up that pumps out 340kW of power and 640Nm of torque.

The twin motors are situated on both the front and rear axles sending power to all four wheels, and can be adjusted to send the majority of torque to either end of the car.

Power output in the Zoe e-sport is actually greater than that of its Formula E counterpart, as power in the single-seat racing series is capped at 201kW, but features similar technology such as the air-and-water cooling system with front-mounted radiator, and high-capacity permanent magnet technology which maximises energy efficiency.

Powertrain settings can be adjusted to control energy consumption, and four different driving modes are available.

The battery pack has a 40kWh capacity and weighs 450kg, bringing the total weight of the micro car to 1400kg.

This enables the Zoe e-sport to rocket from a standstill to 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and on to an electronically-capped top speed of 210km/h which Renault says takes less than ten seconds to achieve.

If this is the future of hot hatches, then I want the EV revolution to happen sooner. That's a really cool looking little car! :eek:
