Named after an ancient Japanese queen, TGMY's Himiko electric car strives to mesh the elegance of a classic style vehicle with the sportiness of a modern Mazda NC MX-5 sports car. The Himiko is proof that electric cars can look sexy and be green.

Under the hood, the Himiko has about 168 Lithium batteries that can power the electric car for about 341 miles on one charge. It has a 2.0-liter DOHC 4 in-line Engine, 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

The Himiko is currently handmade in Japan with pricing and worldwide distributers to be determined, although I'm sure it'd be on the expensive side. I'd buy one if I had the money. There seems to be a trend with electric cars getting the old-school makeover and I like it a lot.
