Fastest electric cars

In addition to the zero rate of emissions, one of the most powerful assets in
electric drive vehicles are their violent acceleration. You are looking at the ten
fastest.
Little autonomy, and the length of charging high prices, are just some of the
shortcomings of electric cars. That which they could always be proud of the
torque of their electric motors. Except that these are of great figures, it is in its
full amount available at the moment the car ignition. Due to these facts, electric
cars can boast such accelerations are the most powerful road cars today. Let's
look at a list of the fastest:
1. SHELBY SUPERCARS ULTIMATE AERO EV
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 2.5 seconds

This car is still under development, and in fact is an electric version of the fastest
cars in the world, famous racers SSC Ultimate Aero TT (pictures). To run the
fastest road electric cars in the world take care of two electric motors of the
total output of 1000 horses and 1084 Nm of torque. And carries maximum speed
335 km / h. Given the colossal force, the alleged autonomy of 280 km and does
not sound so bad, but is questionable. The arrival of the prototype version is
expected in the second quarter of this year.
The main feature of AESP (Scalable All-Electric Powertrain) technology is its
adaptability. Can it be adjusted by the maximum power, compact dimension, light
and fast charging. Electric supercar, the company will be the first of several
models that run on a variation of the same plant. His place will probably be found
even in this SUV and commercial vehicles, and the range of her power will range
from 200 to 1200 horse. Weaker version with one electric motor will be installed
in passenger cars, while the most powerful force variants derived from two
electric motors, and plan to incorporate into larger delivery trucks, operating
2

machinery, buses and military vehicles. AESP electric drive is based on

revolutionary lithium-ion batteries produced by using nanotechnology. Shelby
Supercars company vows in a truly incredible figure. According to their
allegations charging to the top will take only 10 minutes to the 110 volt system,
and will ensure an excellent range of up 240 to 320 km. Heart of the electric
Ultimate Aero are two electric motors - diameter 33 cm and only 90 kg weight.
Despite its modest dimensions, the Ultimate Aero EV will come in a package with
500 horsepower and 1114 Nm of torque even.
2. Datsun 1200 in 1972. YEAR
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 2.9 seconds

Almost 40 years old Datsun 1200 converted into an electric vehicle is currently
the fastest road legal electric car in the world among those who truly are. Two
electric motors that drive electric Datsun developing 300 horsepower and even
980 Nm of torque. The autonomy of the car under normal conditions is about 64
kilometers, but the track is full of batteries after each race. The owner of the
speeder, John Wayland, known as "Plasma Boy", claims that it takes only 20
minutes to fully charge the battery.
John Wayland, known as "Plasma Boy", in his Datsun 1200 in 1972. The built two
electric motors removed from the forklift. After the crowd modifications they
develop about 300 horsepower and 980 fantastic torque. Thanks to the mighty
newton-meters, "White Zombie" as he called the guys, he was catapulted to mph
in just 2.9 seconds. This acceleration can be achieved when they are inserted in
it lithium-ion batteries, or drastically lighter than lead-acid battery pack 60. Pack
Li-Ion battery weighs only 80 pounds, and has even lead a variant of 380 kg. In
mild variate Datsun weighs about 800 kg, or slightly less than 1,200 in more
difficult. The autonomy of the car under normal conditions is about 64 kilometers,
but when Datsun course, batteries are refreshed, cooled and filled after each
race. According to John, it was 20 minutes that they are fully charged.

3. WRIGHTSPEED X1
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 3 seconds

Ultra lightweight Contractors, 700 kg, 236 horsepower, the autonomy of only 160
km, 180 km / h top speed and acceleration to mph violently. More than that, you
should also not be constructed in such a car. Wrightspeed X1 is an electric
version of the world-famous car Ariel Atom.
4. MULLEN MOTOR COMPANY L1X-75
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 3.1 seconds

Much as 600 horsepower, 280 mph top speed and structure of carbon fiber.
Although respectable performance, it is a pity that the very existence of this car
under a big question mark. In the third photo is his original version, powered by
gasoline engines.
5. AC PROPULSION TZERO ROADSTER
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 3.6 seconds

With 200 horsepower, unusual tzeri (tee-zero) may not be the strongest car on the
list, but because it boasts an extremely light structure. The first traces of this
car appeared back in the 1997th , when it incorporated in the lead-acid batteries.
Their position was later occupied by one lithium-ion and thus extends the
autonomy of the car with 160, at 480 km. It's a shame as this and still only a
prototype.

6. TESLA ROADSTER
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 3.9 seconds

Probably the best known electric car in the world is shifting thirty pound (or
better - light) electric motor of 248 hp and develops a solid 375 Nm of torque.
Total 6831 combined lithium-ion battery ensures the autonomy of approximately
350 km.
7. ELIICA
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 4 seconds

With the help of his students from Japan's Keio University, et al. Hiroshi Shimizu
in 2003. year created high-speed electric car names Eliica. The amount of
320,000 dollars have created a total of two cars, one aimed at achieving high top
speed (Speed model), and other such brutal acceleration (acceleration model).
Each of the eight wheels of this beast is powered by its electric power of 80
horses. Eliica can achieve speeds of up to 370 km / h! "Acceleration" model has
an autonomy of 200 km.
Total commitment to pushing the boundaries of the development of electric cars
has resulted in the miracle of the car. This attractive and unusual vehicle with
eight wheels and 5.1 meter in length and boasts incredible speeds. Since each
wheel is individually powered by 80 horses strong electric motor, Eliica can
achieve speeds of up to 370 km / h. Achieved this at the famous Nardo in Italy.
The ultimate goal is to round up to 400 km / h. Acceleration to 100 km / h takes
about 4 seconds, which is next to 2400 pounds of mass to be applauded. Even
with an indication of the time the quarter mile, and was 11.3 seconds. Car stores
energy in a lithium-ion batteries, which, after filling the ten ensure the autonomy
of the weak 200 km (320 miles Acceleration Model). Be of great help to her and
regenerative braking mounted on each wheel.

8. RINSPEED iCHANGE
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 4 seconds

Swiss manufacturer of crazy and daring concept cars to its ground this year was
officially unveiled electric model iChange. In addition to being completely
environmentally clean, iChange is the first car in the world that its shape can be
adjusted to the number of passengers. The electric motor develops iChangea 200
horsepower and Manhunt 1050 pound car to a maximum of 220 km / h.
Although the sketch itself looks very attractive, though, it could present the
possibility that a car supposedly has. Geneva Motor Show will solve our troubles,
and we will by then more closely with the "right stuff". The basic idea behind this
concept is to save energy. Besides the electric drive and use of composite
materials to reduce weight, a key role in the story play and aerodynamics.
Rinspeed so came the idea of creating a car floating shapes, depending on the
number of passengers, creates the optimal aerodynamics. Pressing the button in
the back of the car for a moment creates a place for two more passengers, so
becomes a single seater. Rinspeed iChange no doors, but it has a roof that rises
and moves forward to help passengers enter or exit. The car fell through the
iPhone and has the Harman Kardon info display powered by solar energy. The
electric motor develops iChangea 200 horsepower and propelling 1050-pound car
to 100 km / h in just over four seconds while top speed is 220 km / h. Certainly
worth a mention and a six-speed transmission, borrowed from the Impreza WRX.
9. TANGO T600
Acceleration to 100 km / h: 4 seconds

Although it looks as if it dropped straight out of photoshop corrections, it is a

very special micro-machine for electrical power. Tango T600 with less than a
meter wide, even narrower than some engines, while the length of 257 inches out
of competition every car. Is 152 centimeters tall. It is powered by two electric
6

motors, each wheel precisely at a time. Concerned to develop a total of 1355 Nm.
Autonomy Tango T600 is 320 km.

10. DODGE CIRCUIT EV

Acceleration to 100 km / h: less than 5 seconds

This prototype was established on the foundation of Lotus Europa, a 268 horse
powered electric motor that develops a strong and outstanding 650 Nm of torque.
Maximum speed is 193 km / h.
