Amectran Exar-1
The Amectran Exar-1 was an electric sports car prototype developed by Edmond X. Ramirez, Sr. in 1979. The prototype was built by the Italian Designer Pietro Frua.[1] The car was advertised by Amectran to be the "world's first production, electronic powered automobile".[2] The car was highly praised before the prototype was finished by the United States Secretary of Transportation. Unfortunately, the vehicle did not develop beyond a single prototype. BMW commissioned Pietro Frua, an Italian car designer and coachbuilder, to design the 1975 3.0Si concept.
