BMW M GmbH used the M Night Event in the lead-up to the Nürburgring 24-hour race to unveil the BMW M3 CRT (Carbon Racing Technology). The M3 CRT represents the worldwide debut of a new production process for carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components in the automotive industry. kilograms per horsepower (7.7
The power output remains constant over the duration of the race, so there is no thermally induced de-rating—a major advantage of the electric motors with direct oil cooling developed by Porsche. Top speed is more than 300 km/h (186 mph). Highly efficient motors with direct oil cooling. Its total capacity is 82 kWh.
The plug-in, electric drive supercar has an all-electric range of 110 km (68 miles) plus a potential top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds, and 80-145 km/h (50-90 mph) in 2.3 Active aerodynamics allow for a simple fuselage section that remains stable at very high speeds.
Carbonfiber, produced via artisan craftmanship in the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, is the principal structural element within the new car, used not only in the monofuselage and frame but also for many elements of the bodywork. The Revuelto is the first super sports car to be fitted with a 100% carbonfiber front structure.
In the Toyota Mirai, compressed hydrogen fuel is stored in three 10,000-psi carbon-fiber-reinforced high-pressure tanks: one mounted longitudinally in the center of the car; another mounted transversely under the rear seat, and a third below the battery. Cooling air for the battery is silently pulled in from the cabin.
With acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, and top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph), the nanuk quattro averages fuel consumption of 7.8 Thermal management with separate cooling loops and the steplessly regulated oil pump contribute to the relatively low fuel consumption. liters per 100 kilometers (30 mpg US ).
AOI 2: Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Development of CarbonFiber Composites for Lightweight Vehicles. ($6M) For the purposes of this AOI, a carbonfiber composite is defined as a composite that combines carbonfiber with polymer resin. CarbonFiber Composite Targets.
Like the race engine of the RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder power unit features dry-sump lubrication with a separate oil tank and oil extraction. To save weight, components such as the oil tank, the air filter box integrated into the subframe and the air induction are made of carbonfiber reinforced polymer.
The objective of this AOI is to accelerate the realization of lighter weight vehicle materials made from magnesium and carbonfiber capable of attaining 50% weight reduction of passenger vehicles. Development of Low-Cost CarbonFiber. AOI 2: Lightweighting Materials. Subtopics include: Low-Cost Development of Magnesium.
seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). The long rear hatch is made of carbonfiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP)—an advantage of 6.6 It is characterized by a cylinder angle of 90 degrees and dry-sump lubrication, which uses a highly efficient oil pump module. The output of its 5.2-liter The production R8 5.2
Roadster Sport with optional clear-coat carbonfiber top. Listen to what Elon says: “The Roadster Sport does 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 And all of the energy will be from domestic sources, not some Saudi oil field protected by billions of our tax dollars and our soldiers’ lives. seconds, compared with 3.9
The standard, start-stop system has also been further improved and comes with new features to reduce fuel consumption further: When the driver stops at a red light, the engine can already be deactivated below 7 kilometers an hour (4 mph); 3 km/h for the A4 3.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph). mph) for the Sedan; 7.5
The automaker claims more than 800 horsepower from the car’s supercharged V8 and said it’s targeting a top speed in excess of 190 mph. It gets a load of performance goodies normally limited to motorsport, including a carbonfiber driveshaft, a dry sump oil system, semi-active suspension, and more.
seconds, 350 km/h (217 mph) restricted top speed). Techrules employs air bearing technology—a high pressure feed of compressed air—instead of a traditional oil lubricant film to separate the shaft from the bearing. The body structure is also lightweight carbonfiber, including the dihedral doors.
Addition of two oil “rooms” within the transmission housing for more efficient and higher-capacity cooling. In addition to improving 0-to-60 mph and quarter-mile times, this zero-delay acceleration response allows the driver to experience a heightened sense of G-loading. The front floor panels are constructed of carbonfiber core.
The new power unit’s crankcase, cylinder head and oil sump are all made from aluminum. With the MAX eDrive mode engaged, meanwhile, the BMW 740e and the BMW 740Le are able to run purely on electric power at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and for a maximum range of 40 kilometers (25 miles, BMW 740Le xDrive: 37 km / 23 miles).
mph) as long as traffic is slow-moving. An outer skin made from carbonfiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. The second layer, a composite winding of carbonfiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), provides for maximum strength.
Lectric’s premium commuter model, the ONE Long-Range e-bike comes built with plenty of top-notch upgrades, like the Pinion auto-shifting gearbox, the carbonfiber drive belt, and the 24A potted motor controller for effortless peaking to its maximum output power. JW Black e-bike, 20 MPH for 80-mile range: $1,099 (Reg.
The black model, however, does run you $100 more in price due to the inclusion of a new carbonfiber-reinforced Gates Carbon Drive belt system that throws out the chained drivetrain for a quieter, smoother, and oil-free ride. 1,599) T1 ST e-bike, 25 MPH for up to 52 miles: $1,349 (Reg.
BYD officially launched the Yangwang U9 electric supercar with a 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 2.36 Powered by four electric motors, the U9 packs 1,287 hp (960 kW) and 1,200 lb-ft (1,680 Nm) torque for a 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/hr) sprint in 2.36 seconds and a $233,400 (1,680,000 yuan) price tag.
We also spotted the EGO Power+ 15-inch POWERLOAD CarbonFiber Split-Shaft String Trimmer dropping to $179 , with a roundup of the select discounts on other tools. We also have Lectric switching up its New Year savings after the recent flash sale ended, with its newest XPeak 2.0 Off-Road e-bikes and the XPedition 2.0
That means that the traditional budget-level derailleurs and chains are now being replaced by top-tier European transmissions and carbonfiber-reinforced drive belts. The weather-sealed gearbox is maintenance-free, just like the industry-leading Gates Carbon Belt drive found on the bike.
2 e-bike cruises onto the scene at a top speed of 20 MPH, and comes built with the brand’s usual levels of durability, reliability, and affordability in mind – plus, the whole thing only weighs 46 pounds and boasts a 300-pound payload. . 1,899) 28 MPH for up to 60 miles Aventure.2 1,999) 28 MPH for up to 60 miles Aventure.2
This long-range e-bike takes things up a notch with high-grade European transmissions and carbonfiber-reinforced drive belts, including an auto-shifting weather-sealed electricgearbox from Pinion. Despite the sticker north of $2,000, this is a more than value-packed price for an e-bike this premium.
Equipped with a 500W brushless motor and 36V battery, this scooter can reach top speeds of 20 MPH with a 24-mile range on a single charge. It comes in as a 56% markdown off the going rate that gives you $452 in savings and lands it at a new all-time low. It even beats out Hover-1’s website where it is still listed at its MSRP.
e-bikes , which offer four unique colors (compared to the brands usual black/white options on other models), theyve been given 672Wh batteries paired with a 300W motor (peaking to 819Wh) to provide up to 80 miles of travel via the five levels of pedal assistance at max 20 MPH speeds. Starting with Lectrics standard XP Lite 2.0
Lectric’s ONE is the company’s premium commuter solution that was designed to bring high-quality parts like the Pinion auto-shifting electric gearbox and a carbonfiber-reinforced drive belt into a more budget-friendly price range. It tops out at 20 MPH and can carry the rider up to 20 miles on a single four-hour charge.
The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. Some examples are the use of fiberglass, carbonfiber and Kevlar substituting for wood and metal in vehicle parts, appliances and furniture products.
