It may look every bit like a LeMans race car, but the German-built e-Wolf Alpha-1 SRF is actually a fully street legal pleasure machine that's powered by batteries.
And now it's been spotted pounding the Nürburgring, leading us to believe that it plans to shatter the current record for electric cars on that track, currently held by the Peugeot EX1 concept.
The 'SRF' acronym in the e-Wolf's name actually stands for 'silent radical force' and its technical composition lives up to that in every sense of the word.
Extreme lightweight construction ensures that it weighs less than your average small hatchback, at 970kg, while Li-Ion flat cells feed the two electric motors, which together churn out 280kW and 800Nm. This, says e-Wolf, allows for a 3.9-second 0-100km/h sprint.
While you won't get very far on a charge at that kind of velocity, careful driving should ensure a reasonably good range of 300km on an eight-hour charge, or even 400km if you drive at a constant 50km/h - not that any sane person would bother.
The Alpha 1 SRF is not ridiculously expensive either, the German price tag pegged at the equivalent of R2.1-million.
