Cree SAM
The Cree SAM weighs 1,500 pound. It is a three wheeled eco-friendly car produced by a Swiss company Cree Ltd in 2001. The company patented the Zero Emission Vehicle. The front fascia of the Cree SAM resembles a cockroach and the side view looks like a skull on wheels. The car is sleek in appearance but sometimes gives a scary look with its bulging headlights and skull’s teeth like grille.
The SAM is powered by a 20 bhp electric motor that runs without emitting any pollutants. The motor produces a torque of 80Nm and is completely dependent on six batteries that together produce 168 volts. With a battery recharge of 6 hours the car can run for about 70 km and give a maximum speed of 85 km/h. A peculiarity of the SAM is it can run a distance of 50 km/h in 7 seconds.
