Those that know me well, know that I have a strong love for cars, so me blogging about 'em wont come as a surprise, even though the page views for this article is expected to be very low... people are not as crazy about cars as I am.
The car of the week goes to the Venturi VBB-3, third generation of electric vehicles, they are called electric vehicles because they don't burn fossil fuels, but instead derive their power from batteries, we also have hybrid vehicles that derive their energy from fossil fuels and batteries, this cars switch from fuel mode to battery mode easily.
The Venturi VBB-3 is a purely electric car, its not just an ordinary electric car, but the world's most powerful electric vehicle, the VBB-3 is not like any car you v seen before, its sleek design and length makes it look like a missile! its 11.6m carbon-fibre body is propelled by 3000HP , that is the combined power of 15 Mercedes Benz 190E, and 6 2013 Chevrolet Camaro! now that's alot of power!!!
It weighs a whooping 3.2 tonne, that's about 3 mini-vans, and has a drag coefficient of 0.13--- making it very fast and sleek when moving through air.
The Venturi VBB-3 is powered by 2000 cells of lithium ion phosphate batteries, this car was set to be tested in the bonnesville flats in Uttah, earlier this September, but bad weather prevented this, it was now moved to Wendover Airfield for a series of tests. The royal Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene were present for this test.
This high performance vehicle came to existence as a result of the combined effort of the Venturi manufacturing company and the Ohio State University, the Venturi VBB-3 is set to break the record of the world's fastest electric vehicle later this year, theoretically, it can reach a speed of 600km/hr.
