The Peugeot BB1 concept


A complete rethink of the car by Peugeot. The BB1 concept is an electric car which carries 4 people and designed so that it is only 2.5 metres long - smaller than the Smart ForTwo and Toyota iQ. The car made its debut at the Frankfurt International Motor show.


Instead of a steering wheel, the car has handle bars and no pedals on the floor. Similar to a bike, the accelerator and brake levers are on the handles.

So far, developed the company based in Magny-Cours Exagon electric race car. Now we'll do a road car with emissions-free drive. The latter provides a torque of 480 Newton meters between zero and 5,000 rpm. The sprint from zero to 100 km / h, the car created in 3.6 seconds, the 200 mark is reached after 14.6 seconds. A top speed of 287 km / h are given - on the race track, normally will be controlled at 250 mph.

The 4.50 meters long 2 +2 seater coupe has short overhangs, the design is cool and straightforward. A special feature is the double-bubble roof. To drive two provide very compact electric motors from Siemens. The liquid-cooled units provide 125 kilowatts each. Together, this results in an output of 340 hp, which is 5000-10000 rpm. Whether the motors driving one axis, so that a four-wheel drive results, is indicated. The electric machines are combined with a three-speed transmission that can be operated via shift paddles on the steering wheel. As an energy store lithium-ion batteries used by the manufacturer juice, which hold a capacity of 50 kilowatt hours at a voltage of 700 volts. In three and a half hours, they can be recharged to 20 percent charged to 80 percent. The batteries survive ten years or 3,000 charge cycles, so Exagon.

Its been way over a month since my last art car entry, but I am back and ready to tackle and art car a day maybe two just catch up. What better way to get back in the game than with The Electrobite Olenoides, a wonderful metal trilobite vehicle that you can ride around on, build from an electric wheelchair . It was created for Burning Man 2009 by Jon Sarriugarte and Kyrsten Mate of Form & Reform, the same guys who made the SS Alpha Fox and Golden Mean Snail Car. You can get a better idea of this neat vehicle in this Boing Boing episode.
