Did you believe that an electric car can produce a mighty 370km/h ( It is more powerful than the world’s most production car, the Bugatti Veyron!!) ? And believe it or not, this car is run with eight wheels!
Yes, this is not a fairytale, is true. This car called Eliica( Electric Lithium-Ion Car). It looks like a stretched limousine, but this car can only carry a driver and three passengers. It carrys a cool price tag, that is US$320,000( Around RM1216,000) a unit in prototype form. It tooks 10 hours to charge the Eliica with fully electricity. It should offer the 2.4 ton Eliica to run a range of 200km.
The door open like this…
A five seater supercar.
The record challenging Eliica.
The public road testing Eliica.
There are some of the technology equipped in this car, such as:
The tandem wheel suspension.
The Keio-in wheel motor. It will eliminate the need for the power-transmission devices connecting the engine and the wheels that are need in traditional cars.
The component built-in frame.
