| The HER-02 is an all-electric race car that beat all other electrics in the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, placing 21st out of all 71 vehicles. The HER-02 raced up a 12000-foot summit on a 12.4-mile course with 156 turns in 12 minutes and 20 seconds. The car is a collaboration of Summit Motorsports from Japan; Yokohama Tire Corp., and AC Propulsion, an electric drivetrain manufacturer in San Dimas. Los Angeles Times reviewer Susan Carpenter takes the HER-02 for a spin at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. |
