Lumeneo Smera, new French electric car, on sale for 24,500 euros

First introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008, the Lumeneo Smera has been making small appearances around France and Monaco. The next appearance of the tiny 1+1 seat electric tilting vehicle will be at the 15th Sport & Collection Weekend near Poitiers, France. Organized by the France Ferrari Club, the weekend features a lot of Ferrari cars and will raise money to fight cancer.

If you don't remember, Lumeneo claims the Smera can go from 0-60 in eight seconds, has a top speed of 80 mph and has a range of about 90 miles from a 144 volt lithium ion battery. If my French can be trusted, the company says you can buy the car today in Paris for 24,500 euros, about $33,000 US (see details in French here). Starting in 2010, Lomeneo says that it will have Lumeneo shops in the "main European cities." In the meantime, you can go to the company's website and watch a video of the car in action. Thanks to matteo for the tip!
