[Auto] Alpha Ace EV: Retro design for an electric that promises great autonomy

[#Steeven.™]

Not a month goes by without news of the birth of a new car manufacturer. The variety of concepts with which they are presented is really wide although they all have one point in common. We refer, as you all know, to electricity. Yes, the arrival of this energy source in the automotive sector has allowed engineers to work in a different way. Also, it seems that the development of a platform has been simplified.

One of the latest to arrive is the Alpha Ace EV. It is more than likely that this name does not sound familiar to you and you are right. This model is the first product that the North American manufacturer Alpha Motor Corporation has created and unveiled. As you can see in the images, its design is very modern but with an aftertaste of certain classics. If you like it, don't miss a detail because its technical characteristics promise a lot.

 

The image of the Alpha Ace EV recalls the Fiat 850 Coupé

And you may wonder, what models does the Alpha Ace EV look like? Well simple. The front, in its headlights and grille, is reminiscent of the first generation Ford Escort. The coupe-looking side view is similar to that of the Fiat 850 Coupé, NSU Sport Prinz or Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback. For its part, the rear has a blunt and trimmed format. In it we have optics that occupy its entire width and give it a very technological touch.

Regarding its size, in the images it appears smaller than it is. According to the manufacturer's data, the Ace EV reaches 4.18 meters in length. Inside, the interior is hyper-minimalist since the only button that is visible corresponds to the start of the vehicle. The center console is topped by a generously sized touchscreen. As a complement we have a three-spoke steering wheel or leather door handles.

Where there are still doubts is in the technical part. Alpha Motor Corporation has announced some data, but not the most important: its power. According to the specifications, its acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour is about 6 seconds and its average autonomy is about 402 kilometers. The problem is that they do not give data on the energy capacity of the battery or if it has one, two, three or four electric motors.

Taking into account that these data do not appear in the press kit, a question arises. Alpha Motor Corporation may be looking to find a balance between cost and sale price. For this they would have a plan in mind: to develop an SUV on this same basis. It will be necessary to see if they are capable of achieving their dreams but they will have to tread very fine but they want to fail.
