It is an enormous thrill to develop and actually built a high performance sports car, especially when you can use state of the art propulsion technology. Mind blowing, smooth acceleration, razor sharp cornering, scaring high speeds, perfect balanced re-generative and friction braking, who wouldn’t like to be involved in such a project.
Yet, it only has been a relatively simple project for Evisol. The real challenge has been to develop, compose and actually assemble the drive train that makes it possible to properly propel this car, fully electric.
ThoRR uses a chassis that has been inspired by the Lotus Super 7 concept. This concept stands for high performance through simplicity and light weight. Because of the absence of ABS, power assisted braking, power assisted steering, any form of sound absorption, even a roof and a windshield, only the basics of a car remain.
Driving becomes a symphony composed by the drive line, the chassis, the wheels, the wind and the road. The simplicity of the car, that doesn’t even uses a gearbox, makes it possible to actually feel all the aspects of the electric drive train. Just what is needed to test the real performance of this drive train.
Technical details after the jump.
