Pretty cool huh, the Wright Speed X1 uses a standard AC Induction motor (made by AC Propulsion), has 220nm of torque from 0-6000rpm (flat), a max rpm of 15,000 rpm, 230hp, 150lbs. The Tesla Roadster also uses a similar motor (roomer has it its made by AC Propulsion).
I am currently designing an electric car (check signature), expected to weigh 550 lbs empty, moto-sport bike tires, fully independent un-equal length suspension arms, the motor will be a hybrid-synchronous motor br BRUSA (Swiss), inverter (controller) will be also be BRUSA, is the most efficient and power dense inverters on market, uses a new switching technology @ 24 KHz PWM(most use 6khz PWM) and 97% efficient. The car will accel. 0-60mph in 4 seconds (3 seconds possible). Be able to corner like a "son of a B$%#!" , and will all come back with an equivalent mileage (energy in gallon of gasoline) of 560mpg *highway.
Also, Serum, Zytek converted a Lotus Elise a couple of years ago and i think they put two 12 lbs motors in it @ 100hp EACH, 12lbs! That was brushless DC, it accel. in 4 seconds... better than the original Elise they converted.
