Eco star’s bubble and cheek

Here's the yellow green car! Called the Zoop, the environmentally friendly, battery-powered runabout has a striking yellow bubble top for all-round vis­ion and light, airy motoring.

Outrageous battery-powered car is built by fashion house

31st July 2006

With a bright canopy and matching tyres, it is the handiwork of Paris fashion house Maison de Courreges - famous for inventing the mini skirt in the Sixties and using electric vehicles in its shows. It claims the car's success is down to its lithium polymer batteries, which are lighter, quicker to charge and less likely to overheat than standard cells.

The three-seat prototype won a special award at the Michelin Bibendum Challenge for its perform­ance. It can hit 112mph, travel for up to 280 miles on a single charge and weighs a mere 690kg.
