GBS 4wd high performance EV with integrated carbon structure.....
/The whole GBS Team is proud to share with you an exciting new project which we have been working on behind the scenes for the past few years which has recently come to a point where we can share and show case what we have been creating.
Along with two other partners we were involved in this project to create an all-new Low Carbon super Car, this project focused on a zero emission, high performance super car for low volume production.
The project has been supported by innovative UK whose involvement has been a key part in GBS journey towards EV zero emissions, collaborative R&D nature of the project has allowed GBS as a smaller niche vehicle manufacture to push the boundaries of technology and design, whilst increasing the companies skills and engineering expertise in low carbon technologies giving accelerated progress of our low carbon technologies toward volume production product.
This project pulls together a number previous R&D programs, and development into one exciting concept car, that was designed to provide a concept/engineering platform for future projects with leading sports car performance and establish a superior position of zero emission vehicles in the sports car market.
It featured a four-wheel drive electric system with 220KW and 980Nm per motor fitted to each corner giving in excess of 1,100Hp and a weight of 1100Kg, fitted into a lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis, giving true super car performance with zero emissions.
GBS were responsible for the overall vehicle design and packaging and the design and manufacture including the new lightweight chassis using our innovative low-cost carbon fibre processing technology that we have developed inhouse. We also developed the vehicle styling, interior and ancillary system for the prototype.
The project has integrated four Yasa P750 motors with torque vectoring for increase control and performance, and we have worked closely with Yasa on the development and use of their own Yasa motor controllers, the lithium-ion Batteries are a dual chemistry set up with pouch cells from A123 giving the car a combined 60Kw hours and the ability for rapid charging and extremely high output from the high voltage system.
Going forward we are now looking for investment and partners to bring the car to market as a British Super car offering.
