Brusa Spyder
A Swiss firm that specifically produces parts for EVs has just removed the wraps off of their new all-electric roadster dubbed as Spyder. The vehicle initially began as a university project for the Swiss school of engineering Buchs NTB, but with the assistance of BRUSA there is a great possibility that the car will be capable of competing with the likes of the Tesla Roadster and other established electric sports cars. To create the car's body style, cues from several sources were used including some features from Porsche, which can be observed from its profile and front section. Although the car may come with styling cues that refer to its sporting objectives it does not have the fastness of the Tesla Roadster, but it can hit 62mph in six seconds and reach a maximum speed of 125mph plus. The car is powered by two synchronized electric power units with individual units generating about 127hp (95kW) through an autonomous wheel at the rear, providing the BRUSA Spyder a combined power output of 270hp (200kW). The battery pack comes with a 16kWh capacity for a total range of 80 miles at an average speed of 50mph. Solar panels on the roof aid the charging of the batteries, which can be charged up to 60 percent of capacity in three hours.
