This Could Be the World's Next Electric Supercar
What was once a Chevrolet V8-powered supercar is being revived as an electric vehicle.
Autocar reports Japanese electric vehicle startup GLM is reviving the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS project, but it will rise from the ashes as an electric supercar. We won’t even have to wait that long to see what GLM has planned, as the renamed G4 will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month.

The Roadyacht GTS was first revealed in 2011 but never gained enough traction to enter production. It was a four-seater supercar from the Netherlands and now GLM has purchased a stake in Savage Rivale and will be replacing the V8 powertrain with an all-electric setup.
