Dubuc Motors Electric Sports Car
We heard about the upstart
Canadian automaker was in 2014, but now it has resurfaced with a crowdfunding
campaign to bring its Tomahawk sports car to the market.
Dubuc Motors wantsa to raise US$ 25 million
through StartEngine and if its goal is accomplieshed, it plans on selling the
Tomahawk from 2017 onwards.
Unlike other North American electric
startups, like Tesla Motors and Faraday Future, Dubuc won't be chasing high
sales, offering just its sports car at around US$ 100,000.
That car will apparently have an
all-electric range of 300 mph and be capable of accelerating to 60 mph in a 3
seconds before topping out at 160 mph. Those figures will be achieved thanks to
twin electric motors at the front and rear, meaning the car is all-wheel drive.
To help offset the weight of the
batteries, body panels, including its scissor doors, will be made out of
aluminum.
