(Image source: Autoblog green)Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) presented last Friday (August 19) the newest version of its electric vehicle for speed competitions.The company expects the car to be able to break the record set by such a machine at the Nürburgring Circuit in Germany, which in its Nordschleife configuration requires drivers to cover more than 20 kilometers.The fastest lap time set on the circuit by an electric car is 9 minutes and 1.338 seconds, a mark that the company intends to beat in the initial tests, depending on the weather conditions at the site.The company's new car has two electric motors capable of producing a total of 280 kW of energy, reaching a top speed of 260 kilometers per hour.According to the company, the absence of any polluting emissions makes the technology ideal for the production of sports cars.The expectation is that engines of the type will start being sold commercially from 2012.The novelty has a total weight of only 970 kilograms, including the ceramic-coated lithium batteries, responsible for supplying energy.The vehicle uses the Radical Sportscars SR9 chassis, and benefits from the battery and control panel integration developed by the company Rational Motion.© COPYRIGHT 2022 - NO ZEBRA NETWORK SA ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
