e-WOLF Extreme Electric Sports Cars for the Road

[magna59]

Great work U guys....the technology is great, but could you have gone across to the other side of the Alps, to get some one to give it some style !!!! OK it will never look dated, 'cos its butt uggly to start with. Nice to see the front brakes are from Coventry !!!! See British industry can't make things that go, but can make things that stop....and it does'nt involve just throwing a spanner in the works. Keep at it you guys & will you get Berni E to sponsor the racing formula ?

[seahorsecowboys]

@magna59 ...no worries bro we are working on 1 here in the usa @ rk design ....awd , long batt life and fast to boot ! ,,,,keep your eyes open and save your pennys your going to want 1 !...peace

0-100kph in 5 seconds? I was expecting him to say 3 seconds. Its slower than a Tesla, why bother shoehorning yourself into the single seater style chassis when you could have a full sized electric sports car that goes way faster?

[purpleGoAhead]

@toranamunter because it's not even half the weight of the tesla, so you can go a lot faster around corners - this it what makes driving fun...

[gangrail]

omg germans did it again, make something bad ass and awesome out of nowhere

[sergeklapwijk]

For racing I would use 2 batteries and switch these in the pits. While one charges, the other is in the car.

[DanFrederiksen]

how can it weigh 500kg if special materials are used? I would think it would be difficult to get it to weigh more even if it was made of steel like normal cars. 500kg for a car of this type isn't light!!

[erlkoenig80311]

The weigth of the structure, means without e-motor and Batteries is 180kg!!! THAT IS LIGHT

[DanFrederiksen]

actually no it's not for such a car.

[964fan]

Batteries are heavy. If you want long range in an electric car you need lots of them. That ads up even when using lithium. To get its range the Tesla Roadster has over 1000lbs of batteries alone.

[DanFrederiksen]

but that's just not true. if the car is very light and aerodynamic it doesn't need as large a battery pack. that car weighs twice as much as it should. mark my words

[AhilMohan]

That is true for performance, however for milage its slightly different.

In order to get the large 300KM per charge, the amount of batteries required will be quite large.

If the chassis is 180Kg, and we assume the motor and other accessories is about 100Kg, then the batteries weigh around 220kg which seems to be about right.

[DanFrederiksen]

I guess if they use lithium iron phosphate cells which are heavier than other lithium chemistries then 220kg is not unrealistic.

still disappointing compared to for instance ariel atom at less than 500kg.

it's just not good enough for a vehicle that should be extreme. it can be done better.

fiber wheels, much narrower (you don't need the width when the car is lighter) lighter disc brakes again because of lower weight. and then less batteries, and higher density. no more than 300kg car mass

[jalhay]

where is the soundd kk elektroo car pease of shitt

buy big blockk v8 ;)

thatss how we roll ;)

[erlkoenig80311]

...first you need some brain to drive such car:-)

[CJAEY]

I wouldn't drive this on public roads, no roof and its body is out of carbon. Im sure this car is really fun though

[Chromirage]

ya fatal crash waiting to happen

[wowtacular]

hmm.... 30min charge or 2mins at the pump.. wonder which is more sensible for everyday use.

[wa2tv]

Charge @ home or work .. No need to waste 2min @ the pump

[armanchik24]

these are fun i have a pair of em

[loneshark2000]

Have you seen their next concept ? looks like a murcielago

[loneshark2000]

i can only imagine the day when they remodel laguna seca with inductive charging strips !!! :)

[DoggysStyle]

I like it but im not sold on electrics

[flaconyc1]

I'd buy it...If they made it affordable

[RubioRaver]

Aint no fried chikum N wafflz

[phildo1048]

omg its a land shark

[elemineseslapolla]

thats a cool car, example the bmw 760 (2002) eats around 20 liters/100 km i dunno his tank volume, but i guess its 70 l or so, also it can do 500km without refilling, this car is cool because it has almost no time to lose, well those 30 mins, but its still awesome, but lil ugly too

[MrRod787]

Bike+F1+Car = E Wolf :D

[maikoo25]

cool car

[mrrap4food]

looks like some type of fish

[loneshark2000]

all the people who are well off with money in the world, need to start doing something to invest in battery technology advancements... this is our only drawback, lets find a way to get these batteries to hold a longer charge.

[ankhenaten2]

300 km is maximum range meaning it will never reach the public and it is to expensive to produce for the mass market meaning: a waste on money on a prototype that has no function other than boasting on youtube

[loneshark2000]

uhh.... that 30 minute recharge on those ceramic lithion ion batterys was kinda impressive !

[strangletmuh]

i was trying to imagine pit stops in the future ehen the racing cars become electric...

[loneshark2000]

battery changes, even whole motor swaps as the racing electric motor wears down...

[rodaz440]

this thing is ugly

[volcomLPjerk]

dats a road car? wow

[HKBM45]

Thats sick! I would drive that to work everyday.

[porschecn]

fish!
