There"s much talk about the transfer" of technology from racing disciplines to the Average Family Car. Things developed in the heat of motorsport that help your ordinary road-going saloon. This Schaeffler 4ePerformance concept is less of a transfer", more of a steal-everything-from-motorsport-and-run-for-the-hills". It is, in essence, an electric hypercar housed in the body of a really extraordinary road-going saloon. The concept uses four electric motors from Schaeffler"s season two Formula E car (the championship-winning FE01), each motor producing 220kW and directly connected to individual wheels via a spur gear unit. Which means 880kW, or, as Schaeffler handily points out, approximately 1,184bhp. This is a big number.
