Philippine-designed e-sports car to ‘soothe range anxiety’

Not all sports cars are created equal. Now, with recent developments in alternative fuels, the inequality widens some more.
A prototype all-electric sports grand touring car has been designed and engineered here in the Philippines by a team of Filipinos and is hoped to create quite a stir when it unveils at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada in November 1-4.
Named GT111, its electric power is estimated to give it a top speed of 250 kph and an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph in 5 seconds. Its 250 horses can go as high as 800 hp, depending on the owner’s preference. And being an electric, it has lots and lots of torque, up to 320 lb/ft available from zero rpm. How’s that for an electrifying ride?
Jan Kierulf, president of Michel Motorsport, the local team responsible for the electric, confirmed to Inquirer Motoring that the has been a cross-continental effort involving various developments from different countries.
“The conceptual objective, design, pre-engineering through manufacturability project management, and business planning is Filipino. The chassis and suspension and vehicle standards collaboration is with a British partner. The electric power train development is United States,” he said.
