SPY PICS: ELECTRIC AUSSIE RACING CAR TESTS AT NORWELL TODAY

Below we have exclusive spy pic’s of an all electric Aussie Racing Car that tested privately at Norwell Motorplex today.  Aussie Racing Cars have previously mentioned an electric version of the car, todays car was a two seater ride car, we “overheard” that the electric motor on board produces around 200Bhp, the current petrol powered cars have around 125Bhp.  

The car ran approximately 15 test laps of the Norwell circuit late this afternoon, it looked very fast and very quiet, except for the rush of air from the body kit and the scrape of the front splitter on the first run.  They then adjusted the ride height – the car has huge batteries front and back which would (we suspect) make the car quite a bit heaver than the current spec race cars.

Aussie Racing Cars staff were onsite testing the car along with staff from the company tasked to create the electric engine system.  The car run today sported an “AusEcar by Aussie Racing Cars” logo on the side.

Velocity Magazine asked Aussie Racing Cars for further information, a press release is due out soon we were told.  Whilst the car is unlikely to run with the petrol powered cars it would be a great series to run alongside the international FIA Formula E 🙂 

We expect the car will be on display at next weekends Superloop Adelaide 500 – the first of seven rounds for the pocket rockets.  This year the class celebrates its 20th year of racing.  The Aussie Racing Cars feature in EVERY Velocity Motorsport magazine with photos and race reports.
