UQM 125EX Is Ordered



Today is a big day, the motor is ordered!!! there is no going back now. The 125 EX should really be a great fit with the car. Since we will be keeping the clutch and the transmission, it was best to choose a motor that is similar to the actual 911's. With it's torque of 400N.M Peak, 170KW for 10sec, and 8000rpm. It is a very close match.
Except for the top speed that should be limited at around 170km/h continuous and 200km/h peak, this motor should bring the car to 100km/h in under 6sec just like the original.
Still a lot of choices to be made but it's the first big step in this project. Lead time is approx 6 weeks.
