The e-Wolf Alpha 1 SRF electric sports car
Wouldn’t you opt for a high-powered, street-legal, electric sports car as your choice in burning all that money away? It’s called the Alpha-1 SRF - ’SRF’ stands for Silent Radical Force - and it’s about the most awesome-looking electric sports car you’ll ever find.
Based on the chassis of Radical Sports Cars, the Alpha-1 SRF is not your ordinary electric sports car. The e-Wolf Alpha-1 SRF is based on the Radical Sports Car, which means that, aesthetically speaking, both vehicles look similar to one another. Designed and built to look the part of a LeMans-style electric race car, the Alpha-1 SRF weighs just 970 kilos - 2,138 lbs - while measuring 4,190 mm long, 1,785 mm wide, and 1,070 mm tall. Powering the Alpha-1 SRF is a 41.5kwh ceramic battery pack from li-Tech that accounts for 350 kg (772 lbs) of the model’s overall 970 kg (2,138 lbs) weight.
The e-Wolf Alpha 1 SRF is already available for "just" €215,000, which is roughly around $300,000. Since the e-Wolf Alpha-1 SRF is based on a Radical Sports Car, common sense suggests that comparisons between the two should be noted.
Whereas the Alpha-1 SRF comes with an electric motor, a car like the Radical SR3 SL is powered by a 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that produces 247 horsepower with an additional 53 ponies tacked to it courtesy of Life Racing. The SR3 SL hits a 0-60 mph time of just three seconds with a top speed of 165 mph. Under the circumstances, the SR3 SL trumps the Alpha-1 SRF in top speed and overall performance, partly because of the completely different drivetrains powering each car.
While the major automakers whittle away on their electric car developments, a small German firm by the name of e-Wolf has been building and selling a range of electric vehicles including small scooters, full-size commercial vehicles and high-performance track cars, for several years now.
Like the Formulec EF01 electric race car we saw earlier this year, the e-Wolf Alpha 1 SRF is designed strictly for the track. e-Wolf claims the electric track car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed in 144 mph.
