BOTHELL, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- VaporBrands International, Inc. dba E-Cite Motors Group, (OTC PINK:VAPR) has confirmed that it has established a relationship whereas Ford will supply its Eluminator M-9000-MACHE motors at a discount to E-Cite Motors for use in its new affordable EV sportscar codenamed the "E-CGT"
The motor is shared by Fords Newest Mustang Mach E GT. Each motor which can be used alone or simultaneously with additional motors has:
Peak power 210kw (281hp)
Peak torque 430Nm (317 lb.-ft)
Max speed 13,800 rpm
Gear ratio 9.051:1
Weight 93kg / 205 lbs
COO Gene Langmesser commented: “I have worked closely with Ford for some time and have personally facilitated the purchase of hundreds of engines in the past. The ability to have such a strong supplier of state-of-the-art motors is monumental in our ability to establish E-Cite as a long-term manufacturer. We have now solved the biggest of our engineering and supply challenges for major components.”
The motor is legal in all 50 states and has been determined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) not to have an adverse effect on emissions when installed and used properly in the application (s) identified in the product description. Under EPA and CARB policy, the motor is certified for installation in vehicles driven on public roads and highways.
This is currently the only application whereas the revolutionary Ford Eluminator Motor will be supplied as an OEM motor for a newly manufactured vehicle that we are aware of.
The vehicle codenamed the "E-CGT" is a two seat sportscar that resembles a modern version of a legendary vehicle that was produced in the late 60s and early 70s. The E-CGT also features an easily removable hardtop section of the roof that stores in the front boot while still providing storage in the trunk for at least two sets of golf clubs.
The vehicle will be available as both an affordable entry level fiberglass bodied variant as well as a more performance orientated "S" version sporting a carbon fiber body and upgraded power and suspension.
E-Cite is currently assembling the prototype and expects to continue releasing additional details and photos shortly.
Unlike competitors Tesla, Nikola, Polestar, Lucid, VW, Ford, Jaguar, and others, E-cite is not required to meet any of the safety or other costly certifications of a traditional auto manufacturer making the ease and timeline of offering new vehicles to market significantly more favorable. Whereas the initial timeline to be able to deliver a production vehicle to market generally exceeds 3 years and often longer at a very high cost, E-Cite expects to be delivering its first production vehicles for the 2023 model year. That is less than 12 months from inception to the showroom.
This is possible because E-Cites vehicles qualify under the "Low Volume Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015" In 2015 Congress enacted a bill into law directing the NHSTA to establish a program allowing low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to produce a limited number of vehicles annually within a regulatory system that addresses the unique safety and financial issues associated with limited production, and to direct the EPA to allow low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to install engines from vehicles that have been issued certificates of conformity. Although they were given one year to establish this new program it took until January 2021 until the NHSTA issued a final ruling to allow low volume vehicle manufacturing. Under the act car manufacturers are exempt from all the safety standards but they must meet current emissions standards. There are no emissions standards for EV vehicles.
E-Cite Motors has developed designs that allow the production of vehicles utilizing a skateboard style chassis or space frame chassis that use electric motors. This allows for configurations ranging from low powered batteries and only a single motor on up to a high-powered 1000+hp performance vehicle utilizing AWD and 4 motors.
Note* E-Cites vehicles are in no way categorized as "Kit Cars" as they are manufactured new vehicles.
