As a preview of what we should expect from Mitsubishi at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the brand has released two renderings of its new i MiEV Sport Air Concept.
With companies like Fisker and Tesla pouncing on the performance EV market gap, the Sport Air represents the idea of an electric vehicle as a proper sports car from a mainstream manufacturer.
The MiEV Sport Air exploits the inherent characteristics of an electric-powered vehicle and translates them into performance prowess.
The natural high torque response from the electric motor delivers powerful acceleration while agile driving dynamics have been achieved by locating the lithium-ion battery pack low within the car’s long wheel base.
Mitsubishi hails its new MiEV Sport Air as the new-age ‘pocket rocket’, signalling a new direction for future sports EVs from the brand.
