Spyder, un deportivo eléctrico diseñado en Suiza

El Spyder de 1.000 kg utiliza dos motores eléctricos de 95 kW (129 Cv), uno en cada rueda trasera, que con un par motor máximo de 2.200 Nm, es capaz de alcanzar los 100 km/h en 6 segundos.

En cuanto a sus baterías, Kokam ha proporcionado un paquete de polímeros de litio de 16 kWh, con el que obtiene una autonomía oficial de 125 km a una velocidad media de 80 km/h.

Cargar el coche hasta el 60% de su capacidad tarda sólo tres horas con un enchufe de 220 voltios y 16 amperios, aunque con la incorporación de un techo solar, este proceso se puede acelerar.

Can the BRUSA Spyder be the poor man’s Tesla Roadster?

The ever-neutral Swiss are on the offensive with this whole electric vehicle thing. The word is that Sennwald-based BRUSA Elektronik AG – who specialize in “high-efficient power electronics to convert electric energy” – made an appearance at the EVS 24 conference up in Norway.

Why would BRUSA attend a zero-emissions conference? Well, they’ve gone and built themselves a cutesy all-electric roadster named the Spyder, rumored to be based on the Porsche 914 (why else would they be using that roof?).

Here’s how it moves: each rear wheel gets its own 95 kW (127 hp) motor (or 100kW, depending on whether you trust BRUSA’s site or Wired), scooting the diminutive two-seat, 1000kg Sportcabrio to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about six seconds (or five seconds, again depending on who you’re listening to). Both electric motors combine forces to produce 324 lb-ft or torque. Mmmm, electric motors.

How far will all this get you? About 125 km (or 78 miles, give or take) at 80 km/h (50 mph). Recharge time with a 220V adapter is said to be 4 hours.

While it’s only a concept for now, this would make one neat little runabout/grocery-getter for people who live in decent climates. If BRUSA can get some funding and keep it cheap enough, who knows what could happen? For one, how about a fact-checker on that website of theirs. 2200 Nm of torque? Not exactly.
