The Electric GT World Series is hoping to become the first 100 per cent zero emissions GT championship, with 10 teams the target for the 2017 season.

Plans a seven-race season, including events in Europe, America, and Asia. The announcement specifically mentions Barcelona, Donington, Mugello, and Estoril.

In terms of a technical base, the series has earmarked the Tesla Model S P85+ as its standard package, the electric supercar capable of 0-60mph in just 3.2s in standard trim. The racing version will have better suspension and brakes, improved cooling, and reduced kerb weight.

"We chose the Tesla model S simply because it is one of the best cars ever made, and certainly one of the best 100 per cent electric cars," said Agustin Paya, Technical Director for Electric GT Holdings, owner and promoter of the championship.
