Now the driver has taken the world record for speed in reverse gear at 210 km/h. As we previously reported, the German engineering and manufacturing group was already familiar with the Formula E motor through its involvement with Audi’s Formula E team. But they went to a whole new level by putting four of them in a single car, each of which provides a power output of 220 kW. It is also equipped with two battery packs with an overall capacity of 64 kWh for a modest range, but it’s enough for Schaeffler to perform its tests and blow away any driver or passenger. Over the past few weeks, they have partnered with Daniel Abt, a German race driver competing in Formula E, to test the vehicle. Last month, he did what he called ‘the hottest donut ever’ with the all-electric vehicle. Now he attempted to break the world record for speed in reverse gear at 210 km/h. Here you can watch the impressive video of the record (German): Here are some specs that Schaeffler released about the vehicle: Motors from the Abt Schaeffler FE01 Formula E racing car (season II) Integration of four electric motors with a power output of 220 kW each (Pmax) Overall power output of 880 kW (approx. 1,200 PS) MGU with 320 Nm of peak torque From 0 to 200 km/h in less than 7 seconds Selective wheel drive Battery capacity: 64 kWh Concept and overall vehicle design: Schaeffler Technologies Overall design and manufacturing of the gearbox: Schaeffler Engineering Vehicle design: Schaeffler Technologies & ABT Sportsline Motor and gearbox efficiency of approx. 95 percent under full-load conditions [© electrek.co] + https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/morgan-3-wheeler-ev3-dead/ RIP Morgan EV3, the electric 3-Wheeler of our dreams ctober 11, 2018 The Morgan Three-Wheeler is what's known, in highly technical terms, as a Really Cool Car.
