Sir Stirling Moss awards ‘fantastic’ Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Mitsubishi i-MiEV is 'Best City Electric Vehicle for the Future'

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV was awarded the 'Best City Electric Vehicle for the Future' Award at the Start Eco Car Spectacular on 12th September 2010. The award was presented by Sir Stirling Moss, who drove the i-MiEV on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.

The Start Eco Car Spectacular is part of The Prince of Wales’s ‘A Garden Party to Make A Difference’, an event lasting twelve days from 8th – 19th September that promotes and celebrates sustainable living. The Spectacular brought together an eclectic mix of celebrities and car fanatics to parade a range of low emissions vehicles down The Mall.

After driving the car, Sir Stirling said: “The i-MiEV is great fun. It’s the most practical electric car currently available, with plenty of room for four adults, impressive acceleration and minimal running costs. It’s a fantastic car for driving in towns and cities."
