Electric smart competitor - Tazzari Zero

Trailer - Tazzari Zero

Comments??

The following was translated from German to English:

By Stephan Bähnisch The Smart fortwo has many friends in Italy, Rome is even considered the European capital for the city runabouts. Reason enough for the Italian conglomerate Tazzari, with an even more radical solution, on the other hand to hold. The Zero is simple and should be completed this year to a purely electric emerging network of dealers roll. Tazzari, headquartered in Imola is usually fürs Grobe zustädig, manufactures machinery and pouring aluminum. The Zero however, relies on a delicate technique, the 2.89 meter long and 1.40 meters high, weighs two-seater, thanks to aluminum chassis is just 542 kilos.


Due to the steeply sloping roof and a short tail is a bit of Zero pummelig.Den driven by a lithium-ion batteries to 20 hp Elektromotörchen placed, the center was constructed. That should be for a maximum of 90 km / h top and up to 140 kilometers range care. For the city itself is the operating range, at least creates the Zero Tempo 50 in five seconds, the torque is at 150 Newton meters higher than for many small gasoline. In nine hours, the batteries in a standard wall outlet again. Rotary power is available, even the feeding takes only one hour. It costs a charging according Tazzari just two euros. Because of the middle joints Motors are two storage compartments are available, which together swallow 160 liters.
The Tazzari Zero comes before the electric Smart in the market

Smart Schreck: After brave City-Stromer, the Zero aus.Insgesamt not the driver can choose between four Fahrprogrammen of "Economy" for maximum range on "Rain" for smooth roads and "standard" for normal operation up to "Race "for athletic natures. The fact that the Italians are serious about this, shows the site on which their already interested Zero can configure. They are not only twelve upbeat colors to choose from, but also 15-inch-Alus in different colors, a Hubdach, a CD-radio or leather seats. Together with the cheeky design with wide wheel arches and the dome-like roof, the zero time the nerve meet. If only the Pummelheck would not. A first house brand for the price we already have: Under 20,000 euros, the Tazzari Zero cost. And he comes, if the Italians keep their promise, before the electro-Smart, which is currently being tested in field trials.

Doesn't look that bad to me. But, after reading the description ... this truly IS a city car. smart is a hot rod in comparison. But, it would probably fill the need for city dwellers with congested traffic. I say that without a whole lot to go on though.

It looks like a mean little kid with his tongue stuck out - playground bully with nothing to back up his sass talk.


Not cute.

Looks nice to me. I'd want to see a crash rating on it, but for about $25K, with an 85 mile range, available at the end of this year? I'd go for something like that. I love my smart (and would keep it for longer trips), but I'd really love to throw some stabilizer in the smart and commute to work and back most days without paying a penny to Mobil.

(And before anyone get's all high and mighty about electric polluting more from coal... The area I live in is mainly powered by hydro from falls, and I'm getting solar panels installed RSN.)
