Citroën DS3 Electrum

This funky fully electric version of Citroën's DS3 supermini has some interesting technology under the skin. Two 88-hp in-wheel electric motors drive each front corner respectively, and produce a combined 176 hp — more than the most powerful gasoline-powered version on sale today. Expect strong performance, although the downside is a range of just 120 km. At least the battery can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in just 30 minutes.
