Yes, it is heavy! 3,200 pounds -- but the batteries can be changed. The body is amazing...

Neil -
I usually can't get into some of the pure aero-shape cars I've seen, but that's amazing.
Go Dolphins!

... of the year!
fusion210, that EV Album entry has some great info - thanks for posting. (I went looking for it earlier but struck out).
1997 Metro host car... 65 mph top speed, 200 mile range (though he doesn't state at what speed), and on only 72 volts! |

I want to calculate his CdA. The best way to do it: how many horsepower does he need to hold 65mph? The second-best way to do it: at what speed does he draw 150Wh/mi, and what's the efficiency of his motor? |

The post on EVDL mentioned ~170wH/mile. I think the top speed is voltage limited? It has two electric motors; one driving each wheel, and it appears to be chain drive -- a sprocket is just visible on the outside of the driver's side rear wheel in one on the shots from down low and behind the car.
