Electra Meccanica presented at its home-based 2018
Vancouver International Auto Show the rolling chassis for the upcoming Tofino
all-electric roadster. The Tofino was announced one year ago and is scheduled
for production in 2019.
If the specs are fulfilled, it will be one of the
most fun to drive tiny electric cars out there, though at a price of US$ 50,000.
Electra Meccanica Tofino spec:
- 250 miles (400 km) of range
- top speed of 125 mph (200 km/h)
- 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 7 seconds
- starts at US$ 50,000
The final design of the car is to be unveiled later
this year. For now, Electra Meccanica presents a chassis crafted from aircraft
composite (FRP/ Aluminum) tub structure weighing only 80 kg.
Other highlights shown with the chassis include
heated Recaro seats, the universal J1772 and DC fast charging outlets, and
four-wheel, Wilwood performance 6-piston front/ 4-piston rear, 12.88-inch
diameter vented disc brakes mated to classic-looking 17-inch alloys from Boyd
Coddington Wheels.
The two-door, convertible Tofino will be revealed
later and is available in five stunning colors.
