Williams Advanced Engineering has developed a turnkey solution for car companies looking to launch an electric hypercar.
Williams Advanced Engineering , the former technology offshoot of the Williams Formula 1 team, used this week's Low Carbon Vehicle Show in the U.K. to present the EVR, a modular electric-vehicle platform designed specifically for hypercar applications., which was developed to suit a variety of body styles and could support outputs as high as 1,341 hp. The EVR is more limited in the types of vehicles it can support, though its power band runs up to 2,212 hp..
The battery is an 85-kwh unit that WAE claims should deliver approximately 280 miles of range, and both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations are supported. The range will depend largely on how the vehicle is driven. Making 0-60 mph acceleration runs in less than 2.0 seconds and driving up to the 248-mph top speed will certainly curb the range dramatically.
WAE said the EVR can be updated over time as battery and electric motor technology improves. The company also has a version of the platform that supports a hydrogen fuel cell stack as a range extender.While companies can order the platform as a rolling chassis, WAE also plans to offer a turnkey solution in which the company can deliver a working prototype within 12 months of the project launch and a production vehicle within 24 months.
The Low Carbon Vehicle Show runs until Sept. 8 at the U.K.'s Millbrook Proving Ground. WAE also used the event to present a modular battery system for EVs, as well as aWAE was split off from the Williams F1 team in January when it was, an Australian mining company that intends to tap the engineering company's expertise for the development of eco-friendly freight trains, mining trucks, and industrial heavy mobile equipment.
