E-Tense Performance concept released with new technology package from Stellantis
The French premium brand Stellantis DS has already proven to everyone its ability to compete on equal terms with the sharks of the German auto industry. This was evident not only in the external qualities of the models, but also in the advanced technologies used. It seems that the time has come to measure strength in manufacturing electric vehicles.
The electric vehicle for technical purposes is an evolution of the electric sports car of the same name. The original E-Tense was presented at the Geneva International Motor Show back in 2016. Over the past six years, electrical engineering technology has advanced markedly. This affected not only the external style of the new electric vehicles, but also the possibility of a significant increase in the power of electric motors.

In the model under discussion, a variant with a dual power unit was implemented, which makes it possible to deliver power up to 805 hp. With. The successful evolution of the power characteristics of the engine was facilitated by the Formula E program developed by DS Automobiles.
Experts were impressed by the new transmission's ability to quickly gain maximum power after braking. The system allows the E-Tense Performance to move without the need to use conventional brakes. However, calipers, pads and rotors are still used to ensure safety. New technologies include the use of:
? special chemical composition of battery cells
? battery cooling systems
They were developed in collaboration with Saft, a subsidiary of the French oil giant TotalEnergies, which specializes in the production of batteries.
New technical solutions will find application in the future. youtube.com
The brainchild of PSA Peugeot Citroën is full of other new products. A special carbon fiber monocoque design and suspension has been developed to suit both normal cycle riding and track racing.
Formula E champions Jean-Eric Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa will take over the track part of the checks. They will have to spend more than one hour driving to establish the technical viability of new developments.
While DS has no plans to put the E-Tense Performance into production, the future lineup will feature the technologies introduced in the car, will definitely be used. Perhaps this will also affect some design elements that will appear on future DS cars.
DS unveiled the E-Tense Performance prototype. The promising model is positioned as a high-performance laboratory for electrical measurements. The developments applied in this sample will be studied for implementation in future models of the brand line.
