Watt Electric Vehicle Company (WEVC) revealed images for classic-inspired electric sports car. The Coupe’s all-new composite body is inspired by the legendary 1955 Porsche 356a.
Carving out an entirely new niche, the two-seater, rear-wheel drive, mid-motor-mounted WEVC Coupe combines retro looks with the lightweight, EV architecture. Under the skin is WEVC’s in-house developed EV platform, called PACES.
Made from bonded aluminum, it features an integrated battery enclosure built into the primary chassis as opposed to a separate battery case, allowing the entire platform to be lightweight and very structurally efficient – while the whole powertrain and chassis combination meets ISO regulations and European Small Series Type Approval crash requirements.
With near 50:50 weight distribution, a kerbweight of less than 1,000kg and double wishbone suspension. Power comes from a 40kWh lithium-ion battery, while the mid-mounted electric motor in Launch Edition vehicles will provide 120kW (160bhp).
The WEVC Coupe’s advanced development phase will continue over the coming months ahead of a full production car reveal in late summer. Manufacturing will begin at WEVC’s home in Cornwall in November with first deliveries in early 2022. Starting price for WEVC Coupe 120kW Launch Edition Coupe will be £81,250.
