Eco Factor: Zero-emission sports car powered by electricity.
Westfield has unveiled plans for an all-electric sports car that will be used in a one-make race series to be held in 2011. Dubbed the iRACER, the sports car will feature two electric YASA motors that will take place of the differential and provide direct drive to each of the vehicle’s rear wheels.
The motors, according to the company, will generate a combined output of around 160bhp, while each motor produces about 369lb-ft of torque. The lightweight car features lithium-iron phosphate batteries that are designed to cater to the requirements of a club racing vehicle.
