ZAP Alias: An Automobile Missing One Tyre; Faster than a Porsche!
Written by admin on February 9th, 2008 in devices and gadgets.
Yep, you read that right. This automobile is missing one tyre, but it can run faster than a fancy Porsche…
…granted the car company actually finishes the design. Manufactured by ZAP with the help of the British company, Lotus, this three-wheeled car named “ZAP Alias” can accelerate from rest to 60mph in an astonishing 5.7 seconds. The sports car is powered by two electric wheel motors, located on each of the two wheels at the front (it’s the back that only has one wheel as you can see on the pic) which, together, produces 321.85 horse power and a top speed of 156mph. The same power seen on conventional cars is demonstrated by the Porsche 911 Carrera which costs 60,000. The ZAP Alias, on the other hand, costs only 15,000.
ZAP chief executive Steve Schneider said: “Everyone who has seen the Alias says they want to buy one.”
Do you? Then you’ll have to wait until next year for its launch, although speculations abound that it’s going to take even longer than that.
