The Attucks Apex AP0 is a featherweight electric supercar from... Wyclef Jean?

Some things are just harder to wrap your head around than others. 

Like, for instance, a 1,200kg electric supercar, with more than 600bhp and 400lb ft, delivering a top speed of 190mph and a mere 2.3 seconds to go from standstill to speeding ticket. And when that electric supercar is impossibly light for something that has a 90kWh lithium-ion battery, that makes it even more tricky to understand. 

Equally light is the price: just $350,000 (£291,000) in a field of seven-figure EV supercars like the Pininfarina Battista, Rimac Nevera and Lotus Evija. But then we found out who is behind this all-new contender (which you may remember was previously called the Apex AP-0), and we actually approached light-headedness. Wyclef Jean? Like from the Fugees? We’re trying to think of a name that’d be less obvious to attach to a new supercar project. Nope, we've got nothing.

Anyway, speaking of names, it’s probably time to address the one up there in the headline. 

Crispus Attucks was the first person to be killed in the Boston Massacre in 1770, when British soldiers fired into a crowd of colonists. That often means he is subsequently described as the first person to die in the American Revolution, and honestly this feels like one of the stranger titles we’ve ever seen given to an upcoming supercar. 

Still, we're a little light on details right now, but we're told that Apex Motors has appointed Wyclef Jean's 'Attucks Futures and Technology' as a business partner in the US, and presumably that's why the name has changed. So, what do we think folks? Fancy a go in Jean's own supercar?
