A pair of new Mitsubishi pure-electric racing cars will have its debut at the 91st annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the second longest running motorsports event in the US. The race will be held June 30, 2013.

The race is open to every vehicle type and covers an elevation distance of over 4700 feet. Mitsubishi’s pair of all new four-wheel drive electric vehicles that will be racing at the event measure 191.7 x 74.8 x 54.7-inches and hold only the driver.

The maximum output for the electric motors is 400 kW and the lithium-ion battery pack has 50 kWh of power. The chassis is a specially designed tube frame and the cowl is constructed from carbon fiber.

Mitsubishi isn’t offering up any details on the performance of the vehicle, but the carmaker does say that it is going for the overall win. These racing cars are not so attractive, but the funky looks are common of vehicles raced at the event and manufacturers build more for function than form.
