Endurance test: Honda Accord tourer 2.2i DTEC Executive – autobild.de
A small company from the Switzerland shows the industry how to build great cars with electronic drives. Lampo 2 is the new Ambassador, who is to make decision-makers you want to the new era of clean mobility.
“Lambo” – that sounds in the ears of true sports car fans like a hymn. “Lampo” listens to himself, however, rather unsightly microphone failure – at least to German ears. In Italian “Lampo” means so much Flash and that fits to the bright yellow Roadster, a small company has developed from the Swiss canton of Ticino. Because the Flash is the internationally understood symbol for electricity, the nomenclature fits all the better. Because the racy two-seater without conventional fuel and fetch its feed to the outlet.
Last year the Swiss company Protoscar presented a Lampo. Lampo number one can be under its hood 268
Horse jumping, brings a torque of 440 NM on the axes and has completed more than 10,000 kilometres of test. As the Swiss have unpacked now the Lampo2, an optimized version workpiece with less weight and improved aerodynamics, and also with 408 HP and 640 nm torque has gained significantly in performance. Two liquid cooled electric motors, of which each of the others on the rear axle brings a force on the front share the drive here. Thus, sprints Lampo2 in five seconds from a standing to 100, and also places a top speed of 200 km/H on the asphalt. The storage capacity of the lithium ion battery is 35 kilowatt hours. Thus the yellow Flash comes according to its makers up to 200 km wide.
Neither the first nor the second Lampo is to go into series – unfortunately. Two cars are prototypes, which are as Ambassador of a new era of mobility in use. Because Protoscar founder Marco Pifarelli wants to sell not only a few exotic cars, but help industry as well as States, cities and municipalities with the departure into the age of Electromobility on the jumps. Already in 1987, the then first design student brought his company at the start. In the 1990s, small Ticino company in the so-called VEL1 project was the biggest electric car field involved in the Mendrisio in Switzerland.
Since then, Pifarelli – developed employees – hardware and software for the era of the electric vehicles now with a good dozen. These include inter alia concepts for a corresponding infrastructure, including appropriate charging stations. Partners of the Ticino company are in electricity suppliers and car manufacturers – such as Daimler, General Motors and Nissan. The Lampo 2 Protoscar has presented for a charger, with which the battery charge ten minutes for another 100 km range lets in just once. Normally the Lampo in the domestic garage is to suck up to twelve hours juice from the plug – and primarily at night, if must rest the household appliances and network operators distribute a certain surplus in the network.
After Italy can trip the Swiss streamers even now pure sunbathing. On the roof of a farmer’s place in Tuscany, Protoscar has installed a solar system, which can provide sufficient energy for the daily process of LAMPOS lithium-ion battery. Fueled with solar power the electric Roadster solves a the “zero-emission” – promise the electrical whiter then actually.
