Engineering the next generation of performance car

摘要

High-performance cars are undergoing a revolution. Manufacturers are increasingly offering electric models and over the next decade, the idea of a flagship performance car will change from one powered by a combustion engine to something solely battery-powered. It is already happening in the world of hypercars - just witness the Lotus Evija, a ground-breaking project on which we are proud to be a technical partner. From the very top end of the market down, we see the rise in demand for high-performance electric cars to be a major area of growth for Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE). With our experience in batteries through e-motorsport programmes such as Formula E, light-weighting through composites, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, systems integration and low volume production, it really is a sweet spot for our capabilities - quite simply, we believe we're at the cutting edge of energy storage, e-powertrains and system integration into performance platforms.
