Courage back in 2011 with Electrical proto

Yves Courage is returning in 2011:

http://www.endurance-info.com/versio...ance-4566.html

He'll be coming back under the label Courage Technology with a prototype called Courage MO.11:
- M for MATIS
- O for Zero emissions of CO2
- 11 for 2011

Here are some additional specs from the article:
"-Châssis : développé Ã* partir d'une coque Courage/Oreca LMP2 acquise Ã* Oreca. -Poids : 650 kg (hors groupe moto propulseur) pour un objectif de masse de 1190 Ã* 1250 kg
-Moteurs : 2 Moteurs synchrones Ã* aimant permanent; puissance nominale 150 KW par moteur (+/- 400 ch); Puissance maximale par moteur : 300 KW (+/- 800 ch); Régime moteur 15 000 tours/minute; Récupération d'énergie au freinage; Poids +/-70 kg par moteur avec système de refroidissement liquide
-Batteries : Lithium haute performance; Batteries organisées en packs interchangeables + système de chargement; Autonomie 30 minutes en conditions de course; 5 packs de rotation utilisés en rotation."

Each battery pack has autonomy of 30 minutes and they mention 5 packs. Don't understand yet if the car will have 5 packs, meaning 2.5 hours of autonomy or just 1 pack which is substituted during pit stops, meaning they have to stop every 30 minutes.

The speeds make it equivalent to the LMP2s.

First signs of electrical cars are Le Mans.
