Electric vehicles (EVs) often get a bad rap for being bulky and unexciting. But, the Carice TC2 from the Netherlands is turning heads and changing minds. This electric sports car is a game-changer in the EV world, weighing just about 590 kilograms. It’s proof that you can have a blast driving while still being kind to the planet.
The TC2 is not just another electric car.
It’s a blend of classic style and modern technology. Inspired by legendary
sports cars like the Porsche 550 Spyder, it’s a fresh take on an old favorite.
Unlike many electric vehicles that are modified versions of existing models
(restomods) or assembled from pre-made parts (kit cars), the TC2 is built from
scratch. It’s a perfect marriage of old-school cool and new-school smarts.
Under its sleek hood, the TC2 packs a
modest but mighty punch. It’s got a rear-mounted electric motor with 56
horsepower and a 31.5-kilowatt-hour battery. This setup gets you up to 186
miles on a single charge. Sure, it’s not the most powerful beast on the block,
but it’s not trying to be. The TC2 is all about the joy of driving—a
lightweight, nimble machine that’s quick enough to put a smile on your face.
What’s really interesting about the TC2 is
what it doesn’t have. No power steering, no ABS, no brake assist, no traction
control, and no annoying beeping safety systems. It’s a throwback to a time
when driving was more about skill and less about tech. This approach might not
be for everyone, but it’s a breath of fresh air for those who love the thrill
of the drive.
