Protoscar, a Swiss Company that has been developing CleanCar projects for 23 years, have unveiled their latest demonstration sports car – The 2010 Protoscar Lampo2 Prototype. With the aim of saving energy, this car company has consulted with several power utilities and even the government to develop this electric car.
The 2010 Lampo2’s energy efficient feature even surpasses that of its predecessor, the Lampo demonstration unveiled in 2009. A remote solar plant installed in Tuscany produces enough energy to make the Lampo2 sports car run. Under real conditions, this sports car consumes less than 100 Wh/km-ton. There are four different charging modes that the Lampo2 is equipped with. The first is the standard single-phase with 3,3 kW on board charger that is recommended for overnight home-charging. Next is the standard three-phase with 9,9 kW onboard charger for industrial plugs and fleet owners. Third is the control-pilot equipped and PLC single-phase for public charging, and last is an interface for DC fast charging which is able to transmit power up to 80 kW and can charge a Lampo2 even though it’s 100 km away in just 10 minutes via an off-board system.
The Lampo2 drive trains show that it can be a solution for any type of vehicle. The 2010 Protoscar Lampo2 Prototype has two electric motors under its hood and can operate as a four-wheel drive. It delivers an output of 350 hp and 600 Nm of torque. Just like a real sports car, the Lampo2 also boasts of its ability to move from 0-100 km in just 5 seconds.
