Windbooster Titan Electric Supercar
Very good news about the
incredible Windbooster Titan electric supercar From China. It
is for real and will hit the Chinese car market in the first half of 2017.
Better still: it will have 544 horsepower,
44 hp more than the company claimed earlier on. Torque stands unchanged at 1000
Nm.
The Windbooster Titan will be
manufactured by a company called Windbooster Car Corporation, which is fully
owned by Cammus, a large maker of
performance and after-market parts. Cammus was founded in 2008 and decided to
go into cars in 2014, with the Titan as the first result.
More sweet little numbers: the battery
pack is 500V/72 kWh and water cooled. Charging will take seven hours on 220V
and 1.5 hours on a fast charger. Top speed will be 260 kilometer per hour,
range will be 400 kilometers, 0-100 will be gone in 3.9 seconds and 200-250 in
5.9 seconds.
There are two motors, one at the front
axle and one at the rear axle. Together they will deliver 544 hp and 1000 Nm. The
engines weigh 75 kilo each and measure only 265/350/400. Max speed of the motor
is 12.000 RPM. Weight distribution is 40:60. Dimension size: 4500/1950/1200 mm, and
wheelbase is 2650 mm.
The battery pack is located just before
the rear wheels, giving the Titan a ‘mid engine’ layout. The chassis is based
around a tubular frame made partly out of steel and partly out of titanium.
A racy interior with lots of leather,
perforated pedals, and a flat bottomed steering wheel. The instrument panel is fully digital
and measures 12.3 inch. Power reserve meter on the left, and a speedo on the
right.
Buttons and switches are always hard to
get right for a first-car concept from a non-car making company, but Cammus did
reasonably well here. It looks techy and racy, and the big red start button is
impressive. Sporty leather seats with Sparco belts
and the Cammus logo on the headrest.
The rear with the stabilizer fins, a
very wide wing on two tiny pillars, a black bumper, and an eight-fin diffuser. The chassis without the battery back.
Note pushrod suspension.
The Windbooster Titan is the latest in a
string of new Chinese electric supercars of proposals therefore, including the
Qiantu K50, theThunder Power, the LeSee, and the
controversial Youxia One.
