PR Newswire (US)
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Extreme
Motorsports of California, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EMOC)("Xtreme" or the
"Company"), the world's only publicly traded sandcar manufacturer,
is pleased to announce it has completed the engineering &
manufacturing plans for the industry's first completely electric
sandcar. With the ever-rising concerns by California Air Resource
Board (CARB) of new emissions laws within the sandcar industry and
the growing concern about future climate change, Xtreme Motorsports
has completed the engineering and production plans for the first
"Zero Emissions Sandcar" (ZES). Utilizing the latest in motor &
controller technology from Azure Dynamics, a leader in providing
solutions for the electric car industry, along with advanced
Lithium Ion battery technology from AEVehicles, these new Sandcars
are the most exciting line of vehicles for the consumer we have put
out to date. The ZES technology will be offered in both the
Sportster and Dune Racer models as of April 28th, 2008 and will be
available for immediate reservation. Three (3) of the Dune Racer
ZESs are already reserved for 2009 delivery. The advantage of
electric motor technology is that the torque is instant from one
RPM forward vs. a gas engine that must build up to its torque
curve. The Dune Racer shows performance of 0 to 70 miles per hour
in about 5 seconds with a top speed of 105 MPH and instant torque
of 665 Ft. Pounds. It also has a range of up to 200 miles on one
charge and can be charged off a standard generator seen on many toy
haulers today. It's certainly not shy on performance! Additionally
the Dune Racer has eliminated the need for a transaxle or
transmission through advanced gearing technology. "We have been
working on this project and trying to keep it under wraps for quite
some time," said Alan McCaa - President of Extreme Motorsports.
"It's time to release it to the public! We pride ourselves on being
the leader in Sandcar technology and this is just another example
proving that fact. Just think, no more high-price fuel, no more
broke transaxles, no more emissions concerns. It's just pure,
clean, non-polluting off-road fun!" Forward-Looking Statements
