Ik moet zeggen dat 't er heel lekker uit ziet. Kan je eindelijk politiek correct rondraggen

denk goed, de zwaartepunten op de uiterste hoeken...gewicht op het raakvlak..das allemaal goed, en met inveren? zal wel meevallen, of de auto nou op het wiel drukt of het wiel op de auto, links of rechtsom moet dat kunnen....gaaf project 8)Wim te Riet schreef:Yep... Elk wiel z'n eigen elektromotor. Ik vraag me wel af hoe dat zit met 't onafgeveerde gewicht en het effect daarvan op de wegligging?
The electric sports car segment is about to heat up with the announcement that UK’s Lightning Car Company is now taking pre-orders for its all-electric GT ahead of a scheduled launch date in early 2009. We first reported about the Lightning GT in June of last year but since then the car’s design has been given a total revamp and final production specifications have been confirmed.
Powering the GT is a new 700hp electric powertrain featuring nano titanate battery technology, which is enough to propel the car from 0-60mph in a flat four seconds and take it a top speed of about 130mph. The electric drive system, dubbed Hi-Pa Drive, packs four permanent magnet brushless motors developing at least 120kW in each wheel and features full traction control and regenerative braking on all four wheels independently.
American rival Tesla Motors has had some major issues with the transmission system in the Tesla Roadster in months following up to their planned release date, however Lightning should have no such problems. Due to power being developed separately in each wheel, there are no gearboxes, differentials, axles, drive shafts or propshafts in the Lightning sports car.
One of the key benefits of electric vehicles is that they have maximum available power at the wheels at any speed, unlike a petrol engine where maximum power is only obtained high up in the rev range. Officials claim charging the batteries for just ten minutes will provide up to 250 miles of driving, and at current prices driving one mile will cost just 2.5 cents.das goedkoop...I want one

To save weight, the car’s body is made from carbon fibre and Kevlar, and even with the full array of batteries on board the GT has a near ideal weight distribution of 48/52 front to rear. The car is also available with luxury items such as air-conditioning, satnav, and full leather trim.
Neem je even het stekkertje mee naar het benzinestation: tank je ook nog gratisGTRene schreef:yep...zelfs 400km voor maar 10min ladenprachtig als ze dat voor elkaar krijgen, das ongeveer de tijd om een corvette Z06 te ranken die 10 min

Dat bestaat inderdaad al. Heb dat al eens in een tijdschrift gezien. MafGTRene schreef:moet technisch gezien kunnen...
je krijgt dan een menu waaruit je kan kiezen welk geluid je voor in de mood bent, F1 of american mussle of German powerrr of japan power sound alles is dan mogelijk en het mag hard ook, immers buiten horen ze het nietde accelerator is dan daarmee verbonden, tis toch allemaal electronisch :idea:
The car will come with software that will allow the driver to make it sound like a petrol engined vehicle. At the touch of a button you can switch between the sound of a V6 or a V12.
2008 Lightning GT. The Lightning Car Company in 2006 made a decision to develop a brand-new electric technology for a prestigious sport car. Finally, the new car was made. It is powered by a very popular technology NanoSafe™, has an incredible acceleration speed 700 bhp and can develop a speed more than 130 mph. 2008 Lightning GT it is a some kind of hybrid, it is a car made from combination of classic car design with design of British sport cars, adding racing technology, multiplied by an implementation of electric motor. This car was designed in UK and was much spoken about.
Main characteristics of 2008 Lightning GT:
Unbelievable economy (it is much cheaper to have this car than a petrol car)
Luxurious interior (contains the whole possible innovations, such as i-pod interface)
Great safety features (a new technology of battery production helped to make them thermally stable and more than safe)
Applying of new technologies (NanoSafe™ and Hi-Pa Drive™)
Smooth electric power
Innovative braking system (every time you are stopping or slowing down, batteries charge economizes)
Environmental-friendly car (it doesn’t pollute air)
Hand-made body work
Sometimes, we use terms, notions and even don’t know their authentic or (what is even worse) right meaning! For example, let’s take such word as NanoSafe™. I suppose not everybody knows for sure what does it mean (actually I didn’t know before this). All the concepts of previous electric cars were based on the a rather unsafe technology of production, but due to the US company Altairnano Inc., in 2006 there appeared a completely new technique of ultra safe battery production. the result is Nanotechnology-made batteries. They are: longer-lasting, safer than the previous ones, they can charge easier and faster and they are much more powerful.
of zouden ze toch 2 uitvoeringen brengen zoals deze ook?Hi-Pa Drive™. It is another notion, that is almost in a common use nowadays, but let’s clarify this term as well. This technology was developed by PML Flightlink Ltd and deals with motor boosting. Due to this technology we can speak about an ultra high power density. Due to this technology yin can press the wrong button and! Nothing bad will happen, because this failure won’t stop Lightning GT from operating right.
What is more - this car is a good-looking car. It will help you to make first of all your street, then your city and THEN the Earth around us cleaner and our children will breath fresh air!
