But the company also wants to enter the automotive world with this little electric car called the Loox. The concept is actually the second EV they made, with the first one being called the XD... yeah, almost like the Scion xD, but very different. And this new one also comes in an open top version. It simply looks like a cute dwarf Lamborghini and it comes with impressive tech stats for a tiny city car. For starters, it’s a three seater, adopting the McLaren F1’s layout with the driver seating in the center while the two passengers sit in the back on each side. The doors are big enough for everyone to access or exit the cockpit and they also open upwards, which is nice when you have to park in tight spaces like a crowded supermarket parking lot. Looks rather cute, but this mini isn’t a slouch. Power comes from a 32 kWh Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery pack that feeds two or four 45 kW (61 HP) electric motors controlled by an electronic system. And because the Loox’ chassis is made out of aluminum and the body is carbon fiber, it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.7 seconds. Kinda like a VW Scirocco GT. However, if you’re gentle with the throttle, the electrons juice will last for over 200 km (124 miles). Recharging the batteries takes between 3 to 8 hours depending on the source. OK, so it’s cool, but how much does it cost? Well, when it will reach the market it is expected to be around €30,000, which is about $35,000 at current exchange rates ...

DOKING space Frame (DSF) aluminum chassis with crashworthiness design and high torsion stiffness provides safety and stability. Battery space in the middle of the chassis and 2 or 4 electric motors symmetrically integrated in the front and rear sections ensure low center of gravity and ideal ration of mass which improves sport driving performance. A contender when it comes to choosing luxury, the new LOOX challenges the roads with fine curves, elegant wheels and stunning Y designed seating interior. It fulfills the dream of driving, or better yet, being driven, in a unique frame and body, while at the same time having final assembly details handcrafted in premium materials, completed to each customers' individual demands. In designing and manufacturing LOOX, DOK-ING used it vast experience as a global leader in production of remotely controlled, diesel, hybrid, and electric powered vehicles of different purpose. The outstanding history of innovation was a foundation of present production of demining, firefighting and underground mining vehicles, being at the same time very concrete and trustworthy basis for the technological and technical solutions and safety features for the electric car.
