CITROEN SURVOLT 2018 - ELECTRIC SUPERCAR

ELECTRIC SUPER-CAR

The Citroën Survolt made its first appearance on a racetrack at Le Mans on 12 July 2010. Vanina Ickx was the first driver to get behind the wheel of the Survolt.

Although it has not been confirmed that the Survolt will ever be produced, there are rumors that Citroën wants to create a limited-production of a compact-sized concept based on this car, and start a one-make racing series. The Citroën Survolt will be produced in 2018 as a production car.
The Survolt is powered by a pair of electric motors with a combined power output of 300 bhp (223.71 kW). Its top speed is 260 kph (161.56 mph), and it can accelerate from 0–100 kph (62.2 mph) in less than 5 seconds. Citroën claims that the batteries provide a range of 200 km (120 mi)

SECIFICATIONS:

The Survolt is 3.85 meters (12.63 feet) long, 1.87 meters (6.14 feet) wide and 1.20 meters (3.94 feet) high and features a design with the front dominated by the vehicle's badge located above the large oval-shaped grille.
The car has horizontal LED headlamps which have lower power consumption than traditional filament bulbs — important in a battery-operated vehicle.

At the back, the Survolt maintains the light cluster design used on the REVOLTe, and has a spoiler to increase rear downforce.
An Art Car based on the Survolt has been designed with the collaboration of Francoise Nielly in 2011.

The high-performance battery of Toroidion powertrain is as easily replaed in the pit-lane as it is in the home garage.

NASA's Modular Robotic Vehicle Prototype

NEW MRV

Modular Robotic Vehicle is a battery powered electric vehicle developed at Johnson Space Center. NASA's new MRV Prototype is an advanced electric rover driven by even remote control. The MRV has four liquid-cooled wheel motors and separate wheel modules that can turn independently of each other. MRV has top speed of about 43 mph and a range of 62 miles of city driving on a single battery charge.

"Each e-corner can be controlled independently and rotated 180 degress about its axis. This allows for a suite of driving modes allowing MRV to maneuver unlike any traditional vehicle on the road. In addition to conventional front two wheel steering, the back wheels can also articulate allowing for turning radius as tight as zero. The driving mode can be switched so that all four wheels point and move in the same direction achieving an omni-directional, crab-like motion."

"It's like driving on ice but having complete control. It's blast to ride and even more fun to drive."
-(Johnson Space Flight Center's) Justin Ridley

It also has a drive-by-wire system, which replaces mechanical links to the propulsion, steering and brake actuators with control inputs, which convert to electric signals and transmit via wires to the vehicle's motors.

"Just as NASA helped pioneer fly-by-wire technology in aircraft in the 1970s, MRV is an attempt to bring that technology  to the ground in modern automobiles."
