The Japanese car manufacturer has released some sketches of the concept. The Sports Air Concept will be based on the i-MiEV series.

Journalists and car lovers are eagerly anticipating the i-MiEV Sports Air Concept which is described to live by its tag of being a sports car.

During previous announcements, Mitsubishi disclosed that it will weigh around 970 kilograms with an engine power of 107 kW and an amazing 680 Nm of torque. Imagine its performance when side by side a 2009 Tesla Roadster that has 1238 kilograms, 185 kW and 375 Nm.

Aside from the expected performance of the car, the i-MiEV Sports Air Concept also boasts of good looks with its removable transparent top.

Mitsubishi blends its love and experience with sports car with its expertise in coming up with new electric vehicles. Looking at it, the i-MiEV is designed to talk the talk and walk the talk.

The i-MiEV Sport Air has a range of 100 miles on a single full charge which just takes around 7 hours on a regular household outlet. A quick charge system may give it 80% capacity in just 35 minutes.

The design concept basically evolves around maximizing the high torque of electric motors and coupling it with the powerful acceleration. Driving dynamics were also highly considered during development and its success will highly depend on the car’s lithium-ion battery.

The concept car represents the pocket rocket image Mitsubishi wants to achieve for its new EVs and point the direction it will take in the future.
