Electric sports car by Gumpert: Flirt with Nathalie

butterfly doors, bucket seats, the steering Wheel, like in formula-1 cars, a three-piece, unfolded the Cockpit-Display, FIA-certified roll cage, and at the latest when you Create the racing belts and the blood pressure increases. There you go. With the foot on the brake and press on the red start button in the steering Wheel.

with a quiet hum of electronic systems to high, a pump takes the work. On the keyboard of the driving switch, we press "D" and rolls almost silently from the yard. Then, the blood pressure falls in the basement. Because noise-free To not in power, it is sexy. We trot in the Ingolstadt city traffic from traffic light to traffic light, actually, as in every other electric car. Up to the motorway in Ingolstadt-South driveway.

pedal Threading on the fast Lane, hit the Gas- – sorry, on the drive, and then robs the driver's Breath. An explosion-onset type of thrust's neck, 1000 Nm of torque are constant, a never-ending pulling power, hang in there 544 HP (400 kW) on the right foot. Only a few and extremely expensive super sports cars with internal combustion engine press comparable speed. At 170 km/h a slight "clack" that Nathalie has appealed to the second gear without an interruption in Tractive force. Instead of the drive sound, we hear a dull roll and a couple of whistling wind noise.

The father of this electric sports coupe is Roland Gumpert, an industry well-known Visionary. He promises an acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, which can implement the 1.8-tonne-two seater with all-wheel drive. We do not experience the huge boost to well over 200 km/h. Even in these spheres of the reproduction breaks off. To reach the top speed of 300 km/h, the traffic.

the Latest now available with a throw real of the electric mobility that the car in such a highly dynamic driving is not good. Because the battery was sucked in in just a few minutes of idle, and the subsequent charging of the stop takes longer than the short-term driving pleasure. To counter this exact Argument has Gumpert developed his two-seater.

The legal tender built, only 1,31 meters flat Gumpert Nathalie is wearing on a traffic area of 4.37 metres in length and 2.08 meters in width on an extremely light and torsion-resistant Chassis made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), a body whose load-bearing parts are made of half-also made of carbon. The other half make add-on parts made of a recyclable composite material. It is assembled from resin-bonded hemp, and forms the front hood, fenders, rear bumper, floors and interior panels.

Four 136 HP (100 kW) electric motors power from a T draw-shape in the center tunnel and behind the Seats built-in battery. Its capacity of 60 kWh allowed, depending on the driving a range of 100 to 350 miles before the driver would have on a charging pillar, the feet are in the stomach. Normally, however, the long loading times sees Gumpert as unreasonable interruptions to Travel, and it creates the part. His solution: to reload on the go. A fuel cell with an efficiency of 45 percent for the Range Extender, it promises up to 820 kilometers.
