Sportech
This original designed sports car has appeared in more than a dozen magazines, two books and two calendars.
The prototype was test driven by Jackie Stewart at the Ford Motor Company Proving Grounds in Dearborn, Michigan.
A Sportech was a platform for the t0 / tzero experimental electrically powered car.
The Sportech was the platform for the t0 (tzero) electric vehicle, created by Tom Gage, of AC Propulsion, which was one of the prime inspirations for the Tesla Roadster.
The t0 (t-zero)name for this electric vehicle is a reference to the scientific terminology, “Time starts here”, hinting to this type of electric propulsion vehicle would be an important thing of the future.
