NUREMBERG, Germany, Oct. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Next step towards fully electric race series
- DTM Electric Design Model shows what the race cars will look like
- Outlook on prototype that is currently being developed
The future of electrified motorsport is looking good! During DTM Norisring
powered by BWT, ITR GmbH and series’ partners Schaeffler and MAHLE presented
the next step towards DTM Electric. Prior to the first race of the DTM season
finale, DTM boss Gerhard Berger, Matthias Zink (CEO Automotive Technologies,
Schaeffler), Dr. Jochen Schroeder (President E-Mobility Division, Schaeffler)
and Fred Tuerk (Vice President MAHLE Motorsport) unveiled the DTM Electric
Design Model.
The DTM Electric Design Model is a 1:1 model of the prototype for the race
series that is currently being developed and shows the look of the DTM Electric
cars. Participants in DTM Electric will have the possibility to adapt the
chassis with their specific design characteristics.
This is the next big step after the presentation of the DTM Electric Demo Car
that demonstrated the technical basis of the futuristic race series. Over 1,000
horsepower and top speeds of well over 300 km/h will provide an electrifying
motorsport experience in future as DTM Electric shows sustainable racing at
highest level with help from strong partners like DTM Electric pioneer
Schaeffler and MAHLE.
The DTM Electric cars will feature single-wheel electric drives from
Schaeffler, featuring an infinitely variable torque distribution and therefore
reaching into new dimensions both in driving dynamics potential as well as for
recuperable energy. Moreover, all DTM Electric cars will come with the
innovative Space Drive steering system that is already successfully used in
DTM. As a result, DTM Electric as an innovation laboratory in motorsport will
provide an ideal mix of attractive racing and future technology.
