What is the e3 car?
2 Answers
e3 is the third-generation evolution of Mitsubishi's EVO. It is also the first prototype of Toyota's classic sports car, the Corolla. FC is the nickname for Mazda's twin-rotor engine sports car, also known as the "Twin Star" RX-7. Here is an introduction to the e3: 1. Exterior: All aerodynamic components, including the front bumper, front lip, side skirts, rear bumper, and rear spoiler, have been completely renewed. In other words, to meet the challenges of higher speeds, the goal was to increase downforce and significantly improve aerodynamics. Additional air intakes were added on both sides of the front lip to enhance the cooling of the braking system. The rear spoiler was widened to match the width of the car body, ensuring better downforce. 2. Configuration: To meet the demands of WRC challenges, more powerful performance was essential. Therefore, the first improvement was the pistons, increasing the compression ratio from 8.5 to 9.0, and the turbocharger was redesigned to enhance power output at high RPMs. Additionally, the exhaust system's pipe diameter was enlarged to reduce backpressure, increasing horsepower by 10 to reach 270 HP. With a 2.0L displacement, it delivers 270 HP.
As a BYD e3 owner myself, I find this all-electric car quite practical overall. As a compact sedan, its front fascia design is quite distinctive, especially the dot-matrix grille that turns heads on the road. With a claimed range of 400 km, it actually delivers about 350 km in summer with AC on. What satisfies me most is the low operating cost - home charging overnight costs just over ten yuan. The space performance is decent, though the rear seats feel slightly cramped for three adults, while the trunk is spacious enough for two suitcases. The rotating touchscreen is cool and supports voice-controlled navigation, though the infotainment system occasionally lags. Generally speaking, it's perfect for daily commutes or weekend short trips.
