style="text-align: justify">As smart&#8217;s electric scooter and bike, the forspeed is intended to be an open-air vehicle.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">It is therefore, the car has no side windows and roof. A low wind deflector is even not available.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">The forspeed is generated by a 16.5kW lithium-ion battery combined with a rear-mounted 30kW magneto-electric motor.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">Smart says that a full charge for the forspeed can last up to 84 miles. And the top speed is claimed to reach 75 mph.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">By using a socket of 220 volt, 80 percent of charge can be fulfilled for the forspeed in only 45 minutes.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">The driver may also press a button mounted in the center console for overtaking. By pressing the button, then a short boost of 7 horsepower will be activated.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">The forspeed&#8217;s battery is set to be durable. The wind deflector houses photo-voltaic cells that can deliver solar power for the on-board electrical system, making the battery lasts longer.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">Since the car has no roof, the driver can stretch an available tanneau cover over the interior and attach it to the body.</p><p
style="text-align: justify">The forspeed has been debuted by smart at the 2011 Geneva auto show this month.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.topgearrules.org/smart-forspeed-concept-is-unveiled.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>BMW announces a new “i” sub-brand</title><link>http://www.topgearrules.org/bmw-announces-a-new-%e2%80%9ci%e2%80%9d-sub-brand.html</link> <comments>http://www.topgearrules.org/bmw-announces-a-new-%e2%80%9ci%e2%80%9d-sub-brand.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Feb 2011 05:00:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>fajark26</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[BMW]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Car Covers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Car Electronics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cars Information]]></category> <category><![CDATA[General]]></category> <category><![CDATA[aluminum chassis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Draft]]></category> <guid
