The Bluebird DC50 electric sports car and the Bluebird GTL electric race car will be launched simultaneously at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu this year at the Sustainable MotoExpo on 28th September.
The Bluebird DC50 electric sports car will be a limited edition of just 50 cars, built to commemorate the 50th anniversary in 2014 of Donald Campbell's land and water speed records. With sub 1000kg kerbweight, near perfect 45/55% front: rear weight ratio, peak power of up to 360bhp and sub 6 seconds 0-60mph and a top speed of 140 mph (limited), the Bluebird DC50 is a two-door coupe with electrically operated 'scissor' doors. It has a range of up to 200 miles, depending on specification, and will be available in one body colour only – Bluebird blue.
The Bluebird GTL electric race car has been designed to the latest technical regulations for the forthcoming FIA Formula E series and is Bluebird's 'vision' for the all-electric global race series due to start in 2014.
