With world oil prices continuing to soar
through the roof, alternative transport energy is a hot topic. The
world's latest design in electric cars comes from what is possibly the
world's most unlikely source, a fashion design house. Unveiled this
week by Paris-based house Maison de Courrèges, the Zoop is a high
performance 150 kw three-seater electric car. Designers Andre and
Coqueline Courre¨ges got their start in fashion working for the
legendary French house Balenciaga. Thanks to them the worlds of fashion
and engineering may no longer be worlds apart. by Billy T
