The Vega EVX is an all-electric battery-powered two-seater AWD sports car developed by Sri Lankan automobile manufacturer Vega Innovations and is planned to enter production in 2022. [1] Once production starts, this will the first sports car to be manufactured in Sri Lanka .
The serial version prototype of the Vega EVX was to be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2020 [2] but was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] However, the car was unveiled in a live stream at the Geneva Motor Show in 2020.
The car weighs 2,090 kg (4,610 lb) out of which, the battery is responsible for 480 kilograms (1,060 lb). [4] Vega EVX prototype has two 300-kilowatt (402 hp; 408 PS) electric motors each positioned on the front and rear axles, providing it with all-wheel drive and allowing it a cumulative power of 600 kW (805 hp; 816 PS) and 760 N⋅m (561 lb⋅ft; 77 kg⋅m) of torque. [5] The EVX initially receives a small LiFePo4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery with a capacity of 55 kWh (200 MJ), placed in the rear center position, allowing it a range of 300 kilometres (190 mi), before the arrival of a larger battery of 130 kWh (470 MJ) increasing its autonomy to 250 kilometres (160 mi). [5] and from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph).
VEGA Innovations has described the production version of the Vega EVX can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in less than two seconds, and achieve a top speed of 380 km/h (240 mph) with a 750 kilometres (470 mi) battery range. [6]
