Since the subject has come up, I was looking at old Torchinsky articles and I found this one, A fiberglass knockoff of the Karmann Ghia with an aluminum frame and twin electric motors:
Torchlopnik: The First Electric 'Volts-wagen' Was Named For A Dentist
A Ghia with 1958 DeSoto tailights? Why not — the Ghia design was cribbed from Virgil Exner. |
Article says 75-80 miles from "4 automotive 12v batteries" which doesn't seem right.
This article shows a pic of the actual battery bank... quite a bit more than that. It also says the car weighed over 3000 lbs. With a KG body made of fiberglass on an aluminum frame.
