Zedriv presented the GT3 electric study at the
Shanghai Auto Show causing many eyebrows to raise, and not just because of its
eye-catching iridescent paint job. There’s a strong Porsche vibe
going on with the Zedriv GT3, starting from the overall shape of the two-door
EV concept and finishing at the shape of the lighting units front and rear.
Even the ‘Zedriv’ script sits between a pair of slim 911-style LED taillights.
Measuring 4,000 mm long, 1,650 mm wide and 1,280 mm tall, the Zedriv GT3 is a pretty compact
911 clone, which we’ll admit is better than them trying to actually replicate
the 911. Its overall design actually mixes the familiar 911 shape with a few
elements from the Nissan 370Z, making it look somewhat desirable, albeit not
original.
Powering the tiny sports car concept is an electric
powetrain that produces 131 hp and 175 Nm. It may not
sound like much, but Zedriv claims that their GT3 tips the scales at just 1,150 kg, so it should be pretty punchy.
Zedriv claims a 0-100 km/h time of 7.6
seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h. Juice is provided by a 33.9kWh
battery pack that enables the Zedriv GT3 to travel up to 260 km on a
full charge under NEDC. So far, the Zedriv GT3 remains a design study, yet it manages to wet
our appetite for a tiny electric sports car in ways we didn’t expect.
