tzero THE WORLD’S FIRST HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC SPORTS CAR AC PROPULSION AND THE tzero The tzero is built around AC Propulsion’s proprietary high-speed electric traction motor and power system. Every feature derives from a single-minded dedication to performance and driving aesthetics. At the driver’s command, this breakthrough roadster delivers continuous power from seemingly limitless reserves. High performance suspension, steering, and brakes provide an exceptional interface with the road. The result: a tightly integrated two-seater to delight the senses and move with the world’s best sports cars. 0-60 In 4.6 SECONDS. IT WILL CHARGE YOU. The tzero comes with a smaller environmental footprint than any other performance car: stealthy quiet, economycar efficient, and zero-emissions clean. No other car makes a bolder statement about the future of motoring. The tzero sets the standard at the start of a new era. A few can be there at the beginning. Production starts in 2000. AC Propulsion designs, develops, and manufactures drive systems for electric vehicles, and performs electric vehicle R&D and technical consulting for Volkswagen and other automakers.

The tzero’s copper-rotor high-speed AC-induction motor drives 200 HP through a low-loss fixed-ratio transaxle. The aircraft-inspired composite body curves around the light, rigid stainless steel space frame. Adjustable coil-over suspension, non-boosted rack and pinion steering, and metal matrix composite disk brakes create a phenomenal connection with the road. “…promising the acceleration of a Corvette with the handling of a racer…” AutoWeek SPECIAL FEATURES • Traction control POWER SYSTEM • 110-lb air-cooled four-pole induction motor • 200 hp @ 6,000-12,000 rpm BATTERY SYSTEM PERFORMANCE RANGE • 0-60 in 4.6 seconds • 100 miles at 65 mph • OPTIMA Yellow Top high-power spiralwound recombinant lead-acid batteries • 1/4 mile in 13.7 seconds • 120-mile range combined EPA city/highway (est.) • Maximum current: 580 A motoring 200 A regeneration ® • 90 mph governed maximum speed • 177 ft-lb @ 0-5,000 rpm • Reductive™ Charger operates at up to 20 kW • Configurable digital displays for energy use, battery status, \ and charge control • tzero-exclusive Toyo Proxes® low-rolling-resistance performance tires • Armco Nitronic® 30 and 304 stainless steel space frame construction • Large analog current and voltage meters • Cruise control • Removable top and windows store in trunk
