Chinese electric car startup NextEV is working on a supercar that could debut as early as this year. The company has competed quite successfully in the Formula E Championship and recently announced it was investing in a plant for high-performance electric motors.
Swedish design skunk works Zolland Design has unveiled a retro conversion for the fifth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL. The conversion turns the car into something resembling the popular “Pagoda” SL of the 1960s.
