Porsche Carrera GT Vs. Electric Car Wrightspeed X1
Uploaded by: tsport100
Video Description:
Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and drive line inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $1.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $25.00 per 100kms.
Wrightspeed X1
• 3-phase AC induction motor, 236hp at the motor shaft
• 182 ft lbs torque at the motor shaft, from 0 rpm to 6,000 rpm
• 13,300 rpm rev limit
• weight 1,536 lbs
• no clutch, single gear ratio 8.25:1
. 25kw/hr Li-ion battery pack.

The X1 is 1/10th the purchase price of the Porsche, costs 1/30th the price per mile to drive and does 0-60 is almost a full second FASTER!
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not true LOL.
Porsche Carrera GT - 605Bhp / 3043lb
Wrighspeed X1 - 220Bhp / 1536lb
As you can see the 'heavy' Porsche still has a better power to weight ratio than the EV.
The Porsche has approx 3x the horse power of the EV yet weighs only 2x as much. To make it a 'fair' race and even up the hp/ton ratio the EV needs to turn up with 307hp, approx 40% more than what it has.
What you're seeing is an Electric Motor with 100% torque from zero rpm. Any ICE is simply beaten as soon as it drops the clutch.
The 300hp supercharged Atom that weighs only 1005lb does EXACTLEY the same 0-60 (3 sec)and 1/4 mile time (11.5) as the EV which has only 220hp and weighs 1536lb.
So it's just as fast with a much worse power to weight ratio but costs only $0.01 per mile to drive.
People will still pay astronomical amounts of money for a Ferrari GTO manufactured in 1962. It's certainly not the fastest car out there - not by a long shot. But, they pay the money because to drive a Ferrari is to drive a piece of history.
If given the choice, I'd drive ANY Ferrari over the EV.
I'd love to see the EV go up against a Carrera GT on the 'Ring. Or, for that matter, a new Corvette ZR1, Pagani Zonda F Clubsport, Nissan GT-R, or a Porsche 911 GT2. Much less any Formula 1 car.
It would get its ass handed to it again and again.
When there's an electric car that can post legitimate times on the Nürburgring, I'll be impressed.
Why don't you read the specs first, see (more info). Only 236hp of EV power versus all the 600hp+ ICE cars you've mentioned and the EV costs $1.00/100km to drive versus $20-30/100km for those magazine cover cars.
The Old Nurburgring is for journalist and Sunday drivers mate, try Mt Panorama Bathurst for a proper test of car and driver.
EV: 236 Hp / 220 Nm
Porsche: 605 Hp / 590 Nm
The Porsche costs 40 cents a mile @ cheap US fuel prices or $1.00 per mile in the EU compared to $0.01 per mile for the EV.
The fossil fuel dinosaur is 40 to 100 times more expensive per mile to drive! ICEs are going the way of steam engines, EVs are inevitable, get used to the idea!
Porsche Carrera GT - 605Bhp/3043lb - 400bhp-ton
Wrighspeed X1 EV - 220Bhp/1536lb - 300bhp-ton
