Produced by a Swiss studio Protoscar Lampo is a cabriolet powered by two BRUSA electric motors with full capacity of 268 hp. The set of lithium-ion batteries charged from the consumer network, gives a mileage of up to 200 kilometers between period of recharge with maximum speed to 280 km/h. Like other future electric vehicles of this nature the LAMPO uses regenerative braking technology to provide back energy to the two lithium-ion battery system.
The main objective is to build up a completely functional showcar that can convince passive and even doubter decision makers that contemporary electric vehicles allow the greatest driving pleasure, and showing that battery driven vehicles represent the most appropriate short-term solution.
The Lampo sport electric car of Protoscar, set for a world first appearance at the Geneva Motor Show.
The producer makes this claim due to its wish to see the increase of this power generation technology. This provide the Lampo 0g/km emission rate.
The date of serial production of Protoscar Lampo is yet unknown.

Protoscar unveils the unique features of “LAMPO”: the electric sporty showcar powered by renewable energy.
Protoscar SA will unveil LAMPO – a full size sport cabriolet – at the next Geneva Motor Show on March 2nd, 2009 (stand 5141 in the e-mobile area). Vehicle is powered by two BRUSA electric motors (one rear and one front), optimized for maximizing acceleration and regenerative braking respectively. They deliver a total output of 268 HP and a torque of over 440 Nm. The lightweight Lithium-Ion battery pack with a capacity of 32 kWh allows for a range of over 200 km. Car shows that also a zero-emission electric vehicle can offer the same performance as a traditional sporty car.The primary energy source used for charging the LAMPO has been in existence for more than 4.5 billion years and has demonstrated to be rather reliable: it’s the sun. The exploitation of solar energy for cars possible thanks to a 16 kWp photovoltaic plant located in Seggiano, Tuscany.
Never before a premium driving pleasure like the one of the LAMPO has been achieved at such an optimal level of overall “Well-to-Wheel” energy efficiency – and zero emissions. However, even if the vehicle was “filled up” with today’s
particularly clean Swiss electricity mix, the WtW CO2 emissions of this vehicle would only account for about 7 g/km! Considering the EU electricity mix projection scenario for 2020, elaborated by Eurelectric, the WtW CO2 emission would still be limited to about 40 g/km.Through the showcar LAMPO, Protoscar and its partners aim to demonstrate new technologies which include absolute innovations such as “intelligent charging” or interactive GPS-based “range estimator” – and discuss potential applications
together with car manufacturers, in order to implement these solutions into their plans for future CleanCars.In depth Protoscar
Protoscar SA (www.protoscar.com) is a design company founded in 1987 specialized in CleanCars and based in Rovio (Ticino, Switzerland). It presently employs 14 specialists. We act like a “Minergie-architect”, but apply the efficiency-concepts to cars, mainly by introducing electrification. Our unique experience and holistic approach allow us not only to develop forward looking strategies and outstanding vehicle concepts, but also to support the market introduction of
CleanCars and the communication activity of these technologies. We are proud to include worldwide companies like Daimler AG, GeneralMotors, Rinspeed-Esoro and Nissan among our faithful clients.Protoscar LAMPO: Vehicle‘s name and logo
LAMPO, in the Italian language means “lightning”. A lightning stands for power, especially for electric energy like the one propelling vehicle. Moreover a lightning is fast, intense, impressive and, last but not least, car is a product of nature. The edgy logo of this electric vehicle with its straight lines reminds the lightening and emphasizes the electric spirit of the car.
Protoscar LAMPO eQmotion and clean energy
eQmotion (www.eqmotion.ch) is a “philosophy”, made reality by a consortium of companies supporting and implementing EV-projects. Actually this pool is developing exciting innovative full electric vehicles.
