Tazzari Zero: Italian Auto Design Goes Electric

If you’re in the market for a new ride to impress the ladies, chances are Tazzari hasn’t made your short list. However, if you’re looking to drop the jaw of a new class of woman–savvy, sophisticated and environmentally-conscientious, maybe it should be. The Tazzari Zero is one Italian beauty that won’t dog  0-60 in 3.5 seconds; in fact, it won’t even hit 60, since it tops out at 56 MPH. However, it does operate entirely on electricity shrinking your carbon footprint and saving some serious money on the ever-fluctuating cost of gas. The Li-Ion Fe battery will transport you 88 miles on a full charge, which takes 9 hours to complete. The vehicle weighs just 1200 lbs and is designed for urban transport, which is clear given its low top speed and acceleration (0-30 at around 5 seconds). For the time, the Zero will only be available in Europe and the Caribbean with a price tag of 20,000 Euros. It’s a nice development in the world of eco-friendly vehicles, regardless. [Autobloggreen]
