The new Sportequipe brand created by DR Automobiles has decided to bet on electric mobility. Its access model is a very interesting electric car, the new Sportequipe S1. A vehicle that wants to conquer European cities. It stands out for its design and its features. Autonomy exceeds 200 kilometers.
sportequipe has broken into society. The new brand created by DR Automobiles reaches the market with, among other objectives, making sportsmanship affordable for all audiences. The new firm has made its debut in an important event organized in Italy, its native country. In the Sportequipe presentation, the first models that will make up the range have been announced. One of them is the Sportequipe S1.
The new S1 plays the role of access model to the Sportequipe range. It is a small urban car that not only stands out for its design or its technological equipment. The main key is in its propulsion system. It is a 100% electric car. A model that seeks to revolutionize urban mobility in the main cities of the Old Continent.
The keys of the new Sportequipe S1
Just take a quick look at the images that accompany this article to discover the characteristic features of the S1. The first electric city car Sportequipe features a striking front end with a large grille. A grille flanked by large headlights. In the lower part, in a vertical arrangement, are the LED lights intended for daytime driving. The rear stands out for the roof spoiler, the rear diffuser and the elements in black to create contrast with the body color.
The measurements of the new Sportequipe S1
Leaving aside the exterior, if we had the opportunity to enter the interior of the new S1 we would be enveloped by the environment of a car in this segment. It does not have great luxuries, although Sportequipe emphasizes that the equipment is solvent. It has, among other things, air conditioning, a multifunction steering wheel, an infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electric windows, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors and a wireless charger for compatible mobile phones.
The autonomy of the new Sportequipe S1
Beyond its design and its equipment, both of which are important, as it is an electric car, all eyes are on the propulsion system. The “heart” of the new S1 is a 31 kWh battery whose main objective is none other than to feed a small engine of 45 kW (61 hp) and 150 Nm of maximum torque.
The power is sent to the front axle and thanks to this drivetrain, it is possible to reach a top speed of 120 km/h. The autonomy stands at 210 kilometers. A figure that, in the best of cases, can reach 250 km. The average energy consumption is 15.6 kWh per 100 km respectively. These figures are made possible by the weight of the S1, which is just 1,050 kilograms. The use of aluminum in the construction process has been decisive.
Release date and prices of the new Sportequipe S1
When will it hit the market? It will initially go on sale in Italy. The order book will open next September. At the moment it is unknown what its price will be and whether or not it will arrive in Spain. Taking into account that the rest of the DR Automobiles brands are present in Spanish territory, it is to be expected that the Sportequipe range will end up arriving sooner or later.
