In the latest car today that out in the market, Toyota has released the new details about their attempt to set an electric vehicle speed records at the Nurburgring on 29th of August. The Toyota EV Racer 2011.
Check out this car I feature from Toyota for the first time, the unnamed racing prototype has a 41.5 kWh lithium-ceramic battery which powers two electric motors that produce 381 PS (280 kW / 375 hp) and 800 Nm (590 Nm) of torque. This setup will enable the 970 kg (2,138 lb) sports car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 260 km/h (162 mph).
What a great with great concept. I'm sure more racers out there like this car. If the Toyota plan were set, then they will beat the current EV record of 9 minutes and 1.338 seconds which was set by the Peugeot EX1 concept. More cars details and concepts on worldcarfans.com.
