Detroit Electric unveils SP:01 Car sets the new benchmark for electric vehicle performance and handling METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Emissions-free motoring has a new high-performance champion following the unveiling of the Detroit Electric SP:01, a limited edition, two-seat pure-electric sports car that sets new standards for performance and handling in the electric vehicle segment. Boasting an impressive 155 mph (249 km/h) top speed and covering the 0-100 km/h sprint in a blistering 3.7 seconds, the SP:01 is the world’s fastest pure-electric production car. The new SP:01 was launched under the brand’s mantra of ‘Pure Electric Excitement’ and was revealed at Detroit Electric’s new headquarters in the Fisher
Building in downtown Detroit. Some 999 examples will be built at Detroit Electric’s new production facility in Wayne County, Michigan, with cars sold worldwide through a network of specialist retail partners. The SP:01’s exceptional performance is owed in large part to its excellent power-to-weight ratio. The rear-wheel-drive SP:01 features a compact, mid-mounted 201 hp electric motor (delivering 166 lb ft of torque), a lightweight, purpose-designed battery pack and all-new carbon-fibre bodywork. Total weight is just 2,354 lb, contributing to the SP:01’s superior driving dynamics and class-leading handling.
