How would you design the future e911?
This is what I would like to see:
Weight under 3400 pounds with range when driven hard at least 400 miles with solid-state battery.
Modular battery with the option to remove several 50 pound modules to lighten the weight and decrease range as desired for local performance driving.
Exceptionally lightweight forged wheels.
Standard carbon ceramic rotors
High quality lightweight calipers
Traditional 911 shape, increased rate of windshield and slightly decreased height perhaps one centimeter for lower cd. Special attention to use design element of the classis 911 front fenders, round headlights, roofline. Would like to see sharper tail like earlier 911s if this can be done without significantly harming the Cd
Automatic 6 to 10 cm rise in height when accident is detected, for better safety (for example side impact from an approaching large suv)(Audi Etron currently has a lesser similar system)
Greater use of carbon fiber in the chassis
Primary electric motors of course would be in the rear, mounted unusually low for the lowest center of gravity.
Battery architecture would have cut outs to allow the passengers to sit as low to further decrease cg, and to lower roofline.
In addition, the battery would be have more mass just behind the passenger compartment to allow a mid engine like low polar moment of inertia
Maintain traditional 911 dashboard and interior architecture to the extent possible to not lose the 911 feel and identity.
Unequal length and arms in the front suspension
Your thoughts?
...and Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays if you prefer)
