It weighs less than a Lotus Elise. It has only two seats. It sounds like a microwave. Intern etters, the Teewave meet AR. 1.
The AR. 1 is a prototype, fully-functional rear-wheel-drive, you create electric sports car by Gordon Murray, who was commissioned by carbon-fibre specialist of Toray Industries to something with their toys, also "attractive", which was designed. Sits at its heart a carbon fiber monocoque - contribution to a total weight of only 850 kg including the Center installed 240 kg battery - together with carbon-fiber-crash structures and an aluminum alloy frame. Yay for frame made of aluminium alloy sub!
It sources its electric drive of "a commercial electric vehicle" currently for sale (rumour spreading, a Mitsubishi i-MiEV be)), but with a "electrical architecture and control of special forces" developed by Murray. So it produced torque from rest 63bhp and 133 lb-ft. Thanks to this slim fast weight has performance targets of 0-31 mph in 4.4 seconds, 0-62 mph in 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 91 mph.
"Battery charge lasts six hours and Murray expects it is 31.4 g / km with a ' Japanese energy mix". But if you use your organic lentil soup on the one hand, you learn that Murray has "much attention" to the low centre of gravity and suspension of what he claims setup excellent ride and handling. We would likely believe him. Finally, he designed the McLaren F1, and was not half bad, was it?
The whole lasted only nine months from the concept up to the finished, slidey sports car prototype. What say ye, dot.com types?
