But the team behind the impressive Vega sports car has the credentials and financial support to match similar passion projects emerging in Silicon Valley, California. This is the endeavor of Harsha Subasinghe, CEO and Technology Entrepreneur of Colombo-based Kodgen, a software developer in the tourism and tourism industry. Building a luxury sports car is certainly an departure for Subasinghe, but one that has broader objectives than speeds from zero to 60 miles per hour. (According to Vega makers it will be 3.5 seconds.)
"It is a big challenge for us to convince people that a complex engineering project like a super car can come from Sri Lanka," said Beshan Kulapala, the car project manager. "This country produces some of the best engineers in the world, but in the past we were afraid to commit to innovative product development for fear of being lost or ridiculed." From a purely technical point of view, there is very little room for that. This car has a modern silhouette that fits a shop and has a significant innovation beneath the sheet metal. The dual electric motors power the rear wheels and produce 900 horsepower with a torque of 530 lb-ft. The carbon-fiber construction helps to keep the vehicle weighing around 3,000 pounds - which is great considering the ity nature of the lithium-ion battery packs in the aircraft. The team of more than 30 engineers and others introduces 13-year-old Intel's expert in electrical engineering, Kulapala, as the latest motor controller to develop a new way of thinking about battery packaging. Kulapala says: “Lithium battery modules have a number of innovations in packaging, security, battery management, system hardware and firmware and software. Road and driving conditions.
