Specs On The New Gtr

[ricknismo]

I noticed the GTRPROTO site is back under wraps and still no confirmation of what is gonna be under the hood....wonder whats happenin???

Engine~ V8 5.0L boat anchor, 400hp@4500rpm@the air con compressor.

Gearbox~ 6 speed manual or optional automatic.

Drive~ Rear wheel drive through blingtastic 20"s

Body~ 5000lbs with every gizmo, gimmick, cup holder, tv screen and cruise control.

Price~ $USD. Whatever the Seppos are prepared to pay for it.

Blame it on the fast and furious.

but seriously, 350kw 3.7L V6 twin turbo, seven speed sequential(like a five bladed razor), acres of aluminium and about $100000 oz dollars worth of carbon.

Will it have four engines because there is 4 wheels ( One motor for each wheel?). But then there would be 4 diffs, gear boxes  as well wouldnt it? 

I wouldnt bother with it in that case because it will be to heavy. however I like the four exausts it will obviously be a v17! hahah

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There wouldn't be 4 differentials. Differentials split drive from one source to two places eg. from left to right, from front to rear. If there is 4 motors, one per wheel, then it would have zero differentials for the electric motors because the drive doesn't need to be divided.

With a good 15000+ rpm from electric motors with maximum torque at zero rpm, i would say if they have in wheel hybrid motors then they would only have the one ratio, hence no need for four gearboxes. Many purely electric cars only have the one gear, and most hybrids have CVTs, so I guess that gives it infinite gears. No one is putting conventional gearboxes with electric motors into production as far as I know.

With all that in mind, the weight penalty of having in wheel electric motors wouldn't be as bad as you perhaps first thought. But I don't beleive that it will have four electric motors. If it does get an electric boost from in wheel motors, it will only be for the front wheels IMO.

Love your work ryan. hahahahahaha

smart ass. hahahahah.

A bit off track but there would be good potential with a system like your describing yes?

I would imagine there would be a lot less to go wrong

Could this be a subtle hint from nissan http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2006-Infi...upe-Concept.htm

Im guessing between 3.2-3.5L V6 similar to 350z engine with a slightly higher redline, something like 7500-8000rpm, heaps of torque and somewhere around 350kw at the engine on about 10-12psi

7 speed manual or auto, 1550-1650kg and reworked E-4wd

depending how efficient the production is, somewhere around 80-110K

will destroy all competition anywhere near its price And will bring prices of 34GTRs into reach

go godzillason!
