BAKERSFIELD, Calif., June 10 -- Extreme Motorsports of California, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EMOC) ("Xtreme" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has completed the engineering & manufacturing plans for its SECOND all-electric zero emissions sandcar.

On April 24th of this year, the company announced the release of the industry's first all-electric sandcar. The response was phenomenal. The public realizes the benefits of an all-electric zero emissions vehicle, especially with rising gas prices now averaging over $4.00 per gallon in the US. Utilizing the latest in motor & controller technology, again, from Azure Dynamics, a leader in providing solutions for the electric car industry along with advanced Lithium Ion battery technology from AEVehicles, we are happy to announce the second all-electric sandcar model available from Xtreme Motorsports.

This electric technology is now offered in the Sportster model as announced on April 24th, and is available for immediate order. There is also more great news as well. Unlike the Dune Racer model, there is no wait time for the Sportster electric sandcar model. Orders can be placed immediately. Next, at less than half the cost of the Dune Racer, this model will make zero emissions sandcars available to those who have less extravagant budgets. This model still eliminates the transaxle typically common in sandcars and replaces it with a gearbox provided by Azure Dynamics. Although the system is less powerful than the Dune Racer system, it still equals the power of the gas engine that comes standard in the Sportster so there is no loss in performance. Range is about 100 miles + and can be recharged for approximately $3 because it still utilizes the AEV Lithium Ion Batteries. Now, the best news so far. You're not restricted to offroad use only; this vehicle is available with a street legal package! The Sportster can be driven as a daily driver for work or play! Now that's advancement!

A street legal package is under development for the Dune Racer model as well. This will be available in December 2008 and can be implemented in all the 2009 orders.
