2000 Corbin Motors Sparrow (#243):


My second *fast* electric car. (The first was the 1999 Red Sparrow.) I bought this because of the technology in it and the cooless factor. This vehicle runs on 100% electric batteries. The Kilovac controller allows you to go 0-60 in about 6 seconds. The batteries are 13 Optima Yellow Tops. It's not a wimp for features either, it has full electric heat, windshield wipers/fluid, brakes, ebrake, pioneer stereo, leather seats, fully functional turn signals/horn, and even a tilt wheel. Out of all the vehicles I've ever owned, the Sparrow gets the most looks. It does only seat one, which seems just fine for my purposes. These are $14,900 new, and also carry a 20% federal income tax credit for electric vehicles.
