The Eliica (or the E lectric Li thium- I on Ca r) is a supercar or an battery electric vehicle prototype or concept car first shown in 2004 and designed by a team at Keio University in Tokyo , led by Professor Hiroshi Shimizu . The 5.1 m (17 ft) car runs on a lithium-ion battery and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in four seconds (faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo at the time). In 2004, the Eliica reached a speed of 370 km/h (230 mph) on Italy's Nardò High Speed Track . The team's goal is to exceed 400 km/h (250 mph), breaking the record set by today's street-legal gasoline -powered vehicles.
