Porsche Carrera GT Vs. Electric Car Wrightspeed X1


electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.comOnly about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and drive line inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just .00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at .00 per 100kms …

    So you’ve never seen a Tesla then? They look surprisingly like…er…a Ferrari, but cost less.

    The point is, ANYONE can make an EV that looks like ANY car, or weren’t you paying attention these past few years?

  2. trident3b Says:

    it’s simply a fact that electric motors have full torque available from 1rpm to max whereas an IC engine first has to develop (far less) torque and then marry that up to the drive train (man or auto). Full hybrids can easily push IC cars to one side simply by having a small onboard ICE as the generator (producing far less CO2). We could be there now, but politics (oil etc.) and lobbying stops it. Quite simple. Full hybrid cars will have more than 2000Nm of torque. NO IC cars have that now.

    it is alot faster but who the fuk wud wanna drive somet like tht around i wud much rather drive a porsche carrera gt

  6. VimVendors Says:

    The car is ONE BIG SAFETY/ROLL CAGE. It’s a spaceframe chassis which is far stronger than a monocoque design. It’s basically what is used to give open single seater racing cars their strength and lightness, and is added to rally cars to make them safer than the stock monocoque body. So in the event of an accident I know which chassis design I’d rather be in! There really are some stupid people on here.

    Perhaps you need to learn a little about how an electric motor works. Maybe you don’t actually know what the ‘R’ in RPM means.

    what about Gemballa Mirage GT????….=D buhuhaha!!!

  13. marcezs08 Says:

    no matter how efficient, how fast, or how economic the car really is, lets face it, if you own a ferrari, or a porsche you have the money to drive it, so you dont give a shit about the price it costs to drive, also you drive for the feel, the sound of that awesome v10 race engine. not cuz it can go 20 kph or 400 kph

  14. sakatis Says:

    actualy if you wright down Ariel Atom top gear, you will see how fast it is, actualy on second thought im REALY suprised, and im a fan from now on :>

  15. tsport100 Says:

    That company went into bankrupcy Nov last year so don’t hold your breath.

  16. tsport100 Says:

    Listen mate…

    Who on earth needs are road car that’ll do 400kph???? A public road isn’t a race track!

    This EV will do over 180 kph which is almost 40% more than any legal speed limit (and don’t bother to mention Autobarns… you don’t live in Germany and neither do I)

    The fact is…. the EV is only 230 hp…. costs $1.50 per 100km to drive and blows off 600hp + cars that cost $30 per 100km.

  17. sakatis Says:

    your freaking electric car can reach 150-200 klm? it just has a crasy acceleration. the porche gt can reach 409 klm even more then the bugatti. Are you trying to convince people that your car is faster? but im not gonna hide that i was suprised, and i hope cars like these will someday come in our lifes.

  18. mk701 Says:

    hmm interesting but you see porches and f430s don’t need to run their ass off on every light to prove them selfs (imagine one of those on your streets) or get stares suggesting some thing along the lines of “whos that confident looking queer driving around in his go-kart…” and thats just a start. don’t get me wrong i like electric motors more but it not our time yet so until then i’ll stick with my tt.

    electric mini is coming out in 2009-

    they claim to have built it like a diesel electric car, where a small motorbike engine can recharge engine-

    they claim 900km range

  20. lionloose Says:

    wow it beat a gt… i want one!!

  21. 15PhenomenoN Says:

    Fuck electic cars if you wanna drive one you’ll look like a bitch doing it. Mas puto!

  22. deepsinK Says:

    wait for it… ya you’re REALLY dumb.

    If you knew anything about electric cars, (or if you just payed attention to ian in the vid), you’d know they are way more efficient than gas. You don’t even know the fact’s of the gas atom vs the ev and you make such absurd claims!

    Oh the ignorance is hurting my head! Make it stop!

  23. deepsinK Says:

    4 wheels and street legal, yup it’s a car, and a damn good one at that.

  24. tsport100 Says:

    Get your facts straight!

    The “petrol Atom” you refer to has 300HP AND is 250kg lighter than the EV yet does EXACTLEY the same 1/4 mile time and EXACTLEY the same 0-60.

    The EV has 220Hp and costs ONLY $0.01 per mile to drive.

    If SEEING a 650hp ICE getting it’s arse kicked by a 220hp EV doesn’t convince you, nothing will!

  25. kbunja Says:

    This is a really stupid test.

    First off i think its trying to demonstrate electric vehicles can outperform petrol….SO PUT IT AGAINST THE PETROL ARIEL ATOM (IT LOSES!0-60 takes 2.7-2.9 secs)

    Second - an electric carrera gt/ferrari wouldn’t be as fast/will have the same wheelspin problems due to inertia. It will still lose

    This test is not comparable - the petrol counterparts would always beat the electric ones (unless they arent street legal)
