E-Wolf e2- In Germany build electric super car!



Already someone hardly doubts that in the near future electromobiles will seriously press the petrol and diesel colleagues. For example, the head of alliance Renault-Nissan Carlos Gon is assured that by 2020 electromobiles will make more than 20 % of a world motor-vehicle pool, and further this figure will grow only.

By itself that away from fashionable electric insanity there are no also manufacturers super cars. After all already now "green" reproach founders of powerful cars that their cars terribly soil environment. And every year these reproaches sound all more loudly. Where an exit?

It is clear that always there will be a certain category of people which does not think of the existence without speed, a roar of the powerful motor and adrenaline gallons. However these citizens would not like to look at all in the opinion of surrounding with malicious pollutants of atmosphere. The exit from this uneasy position was offered by little-known German firm e-Wolf. Engineers of this company undertook working out electric a super car, received the name e-Wolf e2. The car has bright, rather aggressive design, something similar Ferrari Enzo and Lamborghini Reventon. The length of the electric devourer of kilometres makes exactly five metres, width – 1,90 m, height – 1,20 m.

The recipe of preparation a super car is simple and traditional – an aluminium frame and a body from composit materials. Thanks that the weight of an electromobile does not exceed 900 kg. The developed air intakes before rear fenders should mislead nobody, as the motor behind is not present. But there is a block of batteries which feed four electric motors, each of which puts in action one of wheels. Cumulative capacity of a power-plant makes 536 h.p. and 1000 Nm a twisting moment. Double a super car Germans promised to publish dynamic characteristics later, but already now it is known that on completely charged accumulators the car is capable to pass almost three hundred kilometres. If the battery is discharged, it it is possible to recharge all for half an hour.

Curious feature e-Wolf e2 is the sound generator, capable to reproduce a sound of various engines and not only them. As it is paradoxical, but the sound generator is necessary that … not to frighten pedestrians. For example, in the USA widespread enough became the phenomenon when pedestrians do not hear coming nearer hybrid car when it goes on electropull-rod, and is banal are frightened, having faced artfully and silently "crept" car. Someone even complained of drivers hybrid cars in police. German super car, moreover a sound of the formular engine simulating, for example, hardly remains not noticed.

However, while e-Wolf e2 exists only in the form of computer sketches, and it will be embodied in metal not earlier than next year. If all at Germans goes according to plan electric super car will be started in a batch production in 2011.

Daihatsu electromobiles



Maybe, it is difficult to believe in it, but Daihatsu actively sells the cars in 37 countries of the world. The spectrum of products is various enough: from cabriolet Copen to seven-seater version Terios. Since recent time the decision to grow and in respect of quality was accepted: the president of the company, Teruyuki Minoura, has informed that if it will be possible to find accumulators of sufficient quality, they will begin tiny electromobiles.

Now the group of engineers is directed in Toyota more in detail to study process of integration of fuel batteries in a car. The manufacturer, thus, does not plan hybrid electromobiles, as hybrid elements will make cars more hard that is inadmissible from the point of view of a policy of a brand.

Kumho Fortis


Already under the account at Korean company – almost Kumho have presented two years ago the given project to the second concept Epoch with a bamboo body and moving at the expense of the phenomenon of a magnetic levitation. Fortis so the present project has been called, easier and represents electric SUV.

Designer Fortis is the same, as at Epoch - Rob Dolton. Appearance concept does not cause special emotions – quite ordinary design, and here a technical stuffing especial.


First of all – the tyres having two modes – for highway and impassability. To knead a dirt steel inserts will help with their surface – they allow to cling better to roughnesses, and for movement on highway it is necessary to increase only pressure in tyres – in that case the tread inflates, and metal inserts are cleaned inside.

The power-plant concept consists of four 100-strong electromotors, each of which is mounted in a uniform element with a suspender and a braking system equipped with system recuperation of energy – and all 4 identical and easy changes in case of breakage. It is ion-lithium accumulators also are united in the uniform block between shafts, and platform Kumho Fortis allows easily from to notice after life cycle or for instant replacement by the charged.
Certainly, the given project – only a fruit of imagination of designer Kumho, however in the future something similar can appear and as the real car … ?
