Javelin Speedsled Concept Car

No longer must drivers confine themselves to the limitations of conventional sports cars, with cramped interiors, aerodynamically compromised styling and body-battering ground clearances. The new all-electric sport cruiser’s performance-tuned suspension cuts aggressively through turns, while its four powerful hub motors—individual electric motors built into the wheels that generate a combined 450 horsepower—send it blasting down straights, reaching 60 mph in less than four seconds on its way to a top speed of 200 mph. But the real innovation is its aerodynamics: Instead of fighting high-speed airflow, the car takes advantage of it, channeling the air around the central, low-slung pod to generate huge downforce. Furthermore, the hub motors eliminate the need for a large engine, freeing space for three passengers to ride in a unique 1+2+1 seating configuration.

* EXOSKELETON: Exposed structural components in the car’s frame are shaped to reduce drag and direct airflow around the central passenger pod.
* HIGH RIDE: The clean underbody and high-downforce aerodynamic pod permit higher ground clearance than conventional supercars. This generates a more comfortable ride without hindering high-speed performance.
* WHEEL FAIRINGS: Streamlined pods minimize the tendency of exposed wheels to create lift.
* WHEEL POWER: Four lightweight 85-kilowatt electric hub motors eliminate the need for a large engine. They also integrate shock absorbers, brakes and drive-by-wire steering controls into the wheels.
* AERODYNAMIC MORPHING: Based on your preferences, front- and rear-wing surfaces morph to an ideal aerodynamic shape to either increase downforce or reduce drag, thereby improving efficiency.
* VARIABLE COLOR: The Javelin’s electrochromic paint job can be adjusted to any hue, with natural fades between colors. Program your car to cycle through color schemes as you accelerate.
* SMART SEATING: Passenger pod minimizes drag with a tapered front and rear shape. Inside, you’ll find an unusual 1+2+1 tandem-seating configuration.
