BRUSA, a Swiss company that specializes in building efficient power electronics and EV components, has just unveiled its biggest and most ambitious project: the Spyder, a new all-electric roadster. It’s hoped to one day competing against established electric sports cars such as the Tesla Roadster.
The Spyder will be powered by two synchronous electric motors. Each provides 127 horsepower to one of the rear wheels, and that should push the Spyder to upwards of 270 hp. Top speed is pegged at 125mph, with a 0-62mph time of just under 6 seconds. The car’s battery should be enough to take it over an 80-mile range with an average speed of 50mph. It will take 3 hours to charge to 60% capacity, but a sunroof-mounted solar panel can help speed up charging.
The car’s design is heavily influenced by a number of European manufacturers, most notably elements of certain Porsche vehicles can be seen in its profile and front-end. One thing is evident, though. The car’s design is no doubt intended for sporting applications.
No word yet on production but with other small start-ups, such as Swiss rival Protoscar, also working on electric sports cars we should start seeing much more competition for the Tesla Roadster in the near future.
