@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

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 ?

@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...

[toranamunter]

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?

[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

[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.

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]

actually no it's not for such a car.

[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
