The world’s first battery-powered rally car Opel Corsa-e has begun durability testing of the vehicle, which car models at this year’s Frankfurt Motor show starting debut, and prepare for mass production next year.
A few days ago, this car is being operated by a private German company Opel Test Center test facility –Dudenhofen test, the test center, including a 4.8 km-long high-speed test track of 900 meters and a Belgian rough roads.
In this test, Corsa-e Rally to accomplish two goals: driving as much as possible, in order to collect the maximum amount of data as soon as possible. Because we did not experience electric Opel Rally before, so the start, they can only rely on calculations and simulations to collect data, but with more tests, which simulated data will gradually be replaced by actual data. Secondly, the adaptation of the battery load and temperature management, and software. Currently, these plans progress smoothly. After
complete testing Corsa-e Electric rally car, Opel will begin manufacturing another prototype, this car will serve as the basis for future electric Rally to customers. Opel plans to initially produce about 20 prototype, which will be the timely delivery of the first batch of 15 in the summer of next year.
Corsa-e Electric rally car equipped with the same model Edition 101kW motor and 50kWh battery pack, but adapted for the event Torsen limited slip differential which 0-100km / h acceleration time is 8.1 seconds, wltp conditions of 337 km mileage. Racing offers three driving modes, which “game mode” can provide full power and maximum torque of at least 60 kilometers; “the rain mode” torque curve is more suitable for slippery roads; there is the use of transition when “Eco Mode . ”
