Little Car Company: Wild One Max can do 100 speed 🎥
REAL-SIZED SPIEZEUG Based on the radio-controlled original Tamiya Wild One of the 1980s, Little Car Company is now building the Wild One Max as a full-size vehicle with street legal and adventure guaranteed.
Little Car Company, maker of hand-built electric cars in reduced scale, has put the Tamiya Wild One Max on wheels in response to popular demand from its clientele. The full-size vehicle is equipped not only with Cobra racing seats and digital screen, but also with Brembo brakes, Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs.
A little comfort must be
To make the model look less spartan than the original, the cockpit has been removed for two people, and the front suspension is now based on two triangular cross members. Electric power is provided by eight battery packs with a combined capacity of 14.4 kWh. This enables the car, which weighs around 500 kilograms, to accelerate to a maximum of 100 km/h and travel 200 kilometers on one battery charge. The vehicle is offered in both left- and right-hand drive versions. The Launch Edition remains limited to a run of 100 units.
Production start planned for 2024
Says Ben Hedley, CEO of The Little Car Company, "We believe it doesn't take a thousand horsepower, nausea-inducing acceleration and torque vectoring to make electric cars attractive. I think modern cars today are too big, too fast, too complicated and too heavy - and we now have an alternative."
Production of the Wild One Max is scheduled to start in 2024. The manufacturer's asking price is 41,000 euros. The vehicle will be shown for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
