Seat IBE Concept - detonated next academic stage of the e-athlete

Seat is at the Paris Motor Show before (2 to 17 October 2010) a further study of the IBE. Back in March 2010, the Volkswagen subsidiary had provided at the Geneva Motor Show with the IBE for attention. In the meantime, the compact concept car in design, engineering and interior has been developed.


The Seat IBE is a 2 2-seater sports coupe in a compact format. With a length of 3.83 meters is about 20 inches shorter than a Ibiza. A width of 1.77 meters and a height of only 1.23 meters give the little coupe's proportions of a sports car. For two people to the space available to be generous, the rear seats allow according to the manufacturer a trip for four. Seat means the luggage room as "sufficient for a shopping tour," create the folding rear seat back when needed additional space. The two backs are individually folded, her back is to the luggage compartment floor a flat surface. Thus, the IBE can also use a three-seater.

9.7 seconds from rest to 100
From zero to city speed of 50 km / h, the 1100 kg heavy study sprints in 3.6 seconds. After 6.6 seconds 80-km/h-Marke is reached, from 9.7 seconds, the speedometer 100 km / h. The continuous output of the electric motor is limited to 50 kilowatts (68 hp), the maximum speed is limited to 160 mph. The battery capacity is 18 kilowatt hours and is designed for a range of around 130 kilometers. The loading time per household electrical outlet, there is still no information.

In the cockpit there is a large display, the functions of touch pads on the steering wheel and steering lever can be operated. This can also wirelessly connected to a smartphone and uses such as music players or navigation device. These functions are also displayed on the central display and serves on the steering wheel. The advantages are clear: the smartphone can update personal cost, or replace it with a successor model, the vehicle itself has no costs for fixed and time-consuming to update systems.


The Seat-study is a pure electric vehicle. The drive motor and power electronics sit in front, the lithium-ion power battery is housed in the rear. Thanks to a compact independent suspension of the current store has its place completely under the load floor. With a maximum output of 75 kilowatts (102 hp) and torque of 200 Newton meters from the start of the drive to provide driving pleasure.

2010 Venturi Sport Cars Venturi Fetish Electric Sport Cars

DETROIT (Reuters) - Electric vehicles may not sell worldwide in large numbers for some years, but the CEO of electric sports car maker Venturi wants his company's racy models and high-end technology to demonstrate their potential. At the Mondial de l'Automobile 2010 in Paris, Venturi is presenting a completely new Venturi Fetish, directly based on developments undertaken for Venturi's World Records program in Bonneville, USA (2009-2012) with the Venturi "JAMAIS CONTENTE", the fastest electric vehicle in the world.

One of the stars of the 21st International Electric Vehicles Symposium (EVS21) to be held in Monte Carlo next week will be the world’s most exclusive electric car – the Venturi Fetish. Assembled by hand in Monaco and made to order, the Fetish has an asking price of 450,000 Euro (US$583,000) - not bad for a vehicle which can legitimately claim the title of being the first production electric sports car in history.

To get the very best out of such a motor, a new 54 kWh battery pack has been developed (LIV-10 Lithium Ion Polymer batteries) whose electronics (Battery Management System) have been entrusted to VENTEC, the leader in the field. Venturi Fetish offers a real range of up to 340 km. Thanks to its on-board charger, it can recharge using a regular electrical socket or fast charge terminals With over 300 hp (+220 kW) and torque of 380 Nm, the VM300 is the most advanced electric motor ever designed for a car.
