BRUSA Unveils Electric Roadster Concept
January 26, 2009
Swiss electronics and EV component manufacturer BRUSA Elektronik AG has unveiled its biggest and most ambitious project to date: the Spyder, a new all-electric roadster that eventually give the Tesla Roadster a run for its money.
The Spyder will be powered by twin synchronous electric motors. Each provides 127 horsepower to one of the rear wheels, and that should push the Spyder to upwards of 270 hp. Top speed is pegged at 125mph, with a 0-62mph time of just under 6 seconds. The car’s battery should be enough to take it over an 80-mile range with an average speed of 50mph. It will take 3 hours to charge to 60% capacity, but a sunroof-mounted solar panel can help speed up charging.
The car’s design is heavily influenced by a number of European manufacturers, with evidently Porsche-like elements for the exterior. One thing is evident, though. The car’s design is no doubt intended for sporting applications.
BRUSA manufactures efficient power electronics and EV components, including battery chargers, three-phase traction drives and DC converters, while also utilizing its expertise for systems engineering.
