New 2011 Artega SE
The Artega SE
High performance with zero emissions
Two electric motors on the rear axles with a total capacity of 280 kW (380 hp) gives the vehicle a strong push. Both motors operate independently, with each of the rear wheel drive. Artega SE accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.3 seconds (4.8 seconds with an internal combustion engine). Unlike combustion engines, electric motors and linear power transfer them immediately, without delay. The maximum speed over 250 km / h. entire powertrain weighs only 150 pounds. Efficiency is very high, ie more than 90%.
State-of-the-art battery technology
A total of 16 tried and tested battery module with a lithium-ion polymer cells built into the SE Artega. Each module consists of 12 battery cells, and they operate largely autonomously. Twelve modules in the rear of the vehicle and four are located on the front. All water-cooled batteries, produce a total of 37 kilowatts / hour and the rated voltage of 350 V. total battery weight of 310 kg.
According to the New European Driving Cycle Artega standard SE has a range of 300 kilometers, under normal driving conditions, could easily reach 200 km. The battery can be recharged using standard household current by using the plug at the rear of the vehicle. Charging time can be reduced significantly if the park-and-ride stations and special parking spaces for use with charging facilities. Used batteries can be fully recharged in just 90 minutes.
Artega design promises optimal results with minimal additional weight
The concept of mid-engine and rear sub-frame attached to the drive unit suitable for use with electric motors. Axis distribution of 57% and 43% behind the front is identical with the Artega GT ® with an internal combustion engine. Lightweight construction without compromising his giving a total weight in accordance with the standards of the European Union just 1285 kg – a decisive advantage over the competition. Artega SE weighs 1400 kg, only about 10% more than the GT version. This means that the handling and braking performance will be comparable to those of the Artega ® GT, the excellent reviews in the trade press. The entire vehicle with the brakes and the damping has the appropriate dimensions to accommodate the additional power of 59 kW (80 hp) and improved performance resulting from an electric version.
Innovative recreational settings
With the toggle switch on the steering wheel the driver can adjust the level of recovery when he removed his foot from the accelerator. Variable settings of about 75 kW to zero recovery, the level known as “Sailing”. This allows the driver to change the nature of the acceleration pedal on their own or each driving conditions to adjust.
Instrument cluster has been redesigned with readouts analog / digital combined for speed, coverage status, battery and energy flow. Via
