Supercar club to offer zero emission electric Range Rover

31st July 2008 Print
Liberty Electric Cars and ecurie25, the world’s most sophisticated supercar sharing club, have reached an exclusive agreement that will give the car club’s members unique access to the world’s first zero emission electric Range Rover.

Barry Shrier, CEO of Liberty Electric Cars says: “We are delighted that ecurie25 has decided to make the Liberty electric Range Rover available to its members. Apart from being one of the most notable car clubs in the world, ecurie25 is distinct in that it actively encourages its members to divide their driving time between the exotic and the environmentally-friendly.

“General sales interest in the electric Range Rover has been staggering, so we are sure that it will be a very popular choice with ecurie25 members”.

The Liberty electric Range Rover drives cleanly and quietly around roads and cities, free of tax, congestion and parking charges, making less environmental impact than even the smallest, most fuel efficient car, yet still offering the comfort and security of a luxury 4 x 4”. It has a driving range of 200 miles, further with its on board generator, which maintains power levels while the vehicle is in use.

The vehicle has 80 per cent lower running costs than the equivalent petrol powered Range Rover. Electrical power is also a more efficient source of power, and enhances dynamic performance because of its instantly available torque.

Chirag Shah, director, ecurie25 said: “The Liberty electric Range Rover will be available later this year. We are very pleased to have secured this opportunity exclusively for our members. They will be among the first in the world to drive this truly innovative vehicle”.

With two London locations; Old Street and Knightsbridge, ecurie25 is London’s premier luxury car club.

In exchange for an annual membership fee, members gain access to the club’s collection of cars – typically 30-60 days per year. As with other asset sharing concepts, cost savings are significant. Whereas the cost of running a supercar such as a Ferrari would be around £40,000 a year, an ecurie25 member will spend around £10,000 on club membership. Membership of ecurie25 also includes concierge services, access to private clubs, invitations to exclusive events and many other benefits.

In addition to the club’s principal supercars such as the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo and Aston Martin DB9, ecurie25 also offers a range of car types for different driving occasions; the Maserati Quattroporte for grand touring with the family, the Liberty electric Range Rover for a luxury Alpine adventure and so on. With a wide variety of options, ecurie25 membership presents a true alternative to ownership for the busy sophisticated city driver.
