If you recall from the 2007 Frankfurt show, Loremo debuted its 118 mpg 1.5-liter diesel, but now the company is back with the appropriately named electric E-Loremo. Or Evolution Loremo. Or Evolution Low Resistance Mobility if you really want to dissect the hell out of the name. Under the hood, the E-Loremo isn't too shabby.

It includes a 20KW electric engine capable of 40kw short-term bursts. Top speed equals 105 mph. No official word on battery capacity, but the Loremo folks are ballparking for a 93-to -24 mile range per juicing. Early reports suggest a prototype could be ready mid-2008, with production models arriving around 2010, at the earliest. [Loremo via Giz]
