Luxgen Neora



Taiwan's Luxgen Motors unveiled the neora concept at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. The neora (yes that's correct, no capitals) concept is a proposal for a 100-percent electric powered sedan which is capable of quite surprising performance.




Motivation for the Luxgen neora comes from a 240-horsepower electric induction motor supplied by 48 kWh lithium-ion batteries. The front-wheel-drive neora can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 6.5 seconds, and continue on to a 155 mph (250 km/h) top speed.

Despite the impressive performance, the neora has a range of 250 miles (400 km), and it can achieve a state of 80-percent charge after just one hour.


The Luxgen neora's interior is enhanced by a PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) glass sunroof which can be darkened or lightened depending on how much sunlight is entering the cabin.


The rear-seat passengers are treated to their own infotainment system and LED screen, while the driver is served up essential driving information via a head-up display. Another 9-inch screen in the center of the dash can exchange information with other nearby vehicles, and also provide navigation functions.

In quite what form, or even if the neora will enter production remains to be seen. However it shows that even fresh-faced, two-year-old manufacturers are keen to enter the electric car market.
