MIKA, the innovative new sports car manufacturer, is set to showcase its inaugural product, the meon e beach buggy, at this year’s exhibition. This marks MIKA’s first foray into the automotive world with the meon e making waves as the lightest electric sports car in the world, weighing in at a mere 675 kilograms.
Powered by a 20 kWh battery, it achieves a commendable range of 120 miles without compromising on weight, thanks to its ‘right-sized’ battery design. The central placement of the battery pack ensures a low centre of gravity and even weight distribution between the front and rear axles, optimising ride, handling and agility.
With a remarkable 160 kW of power, instant torque and a seamless lack of need for gear changes, the meon e accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The vehicle’s powerful brakes, benefiting from the ideal weight distribution, contribute to both performance and safety on the road.
The fully independent suspension, featuring race-car style double wishbones all around, promises a dynamic and responsive driving experience and this unique combination earned the company the prestigious Niche Vehicle Network Nick Carpenter Innovation trophy in 2023.
The vehicle embodies classic beach buggy style fused with a high-performance, fully electric drivetrain and an entirely new chassis design. By merging supercar-level performance with proper sports car handling, MIKA sets a new standard for niche vehicles that are lightweight, fun and emission-free. The buggy not only offers exhilarating acceleration but also boasts track-proven handling and braking capabilities within an iconic sports car silhouette. The vehicle is poised to redefine the niche vehicle sector, showcasing that zero-emission motoring can be both enjoyable and environmentally responsible.
To experience the meon e up close, visitors can view the vehicle on display outside the entrance to the Silverstone Wing on 26 March. Attendees can also join the mini seminar presented by MIKA Director Robin Hall, focusing on Lightweighting of Electric Vehicles.
