In a thrilling revelation at EICMA 2023, Ultraviolette Automotive has electrified the stage with the upgraded F99 electric factory racing platform. Boasting a formidable 120hp and a mind-bending top speed of 265kph, the F99 is set to redefine electric performance on the track. Let’s dive into the electrifying details that make the F99 a force to be reckoned with.
Revamped F99: A Symphony of Power and Precision
Ultraviolette Automotive’s F99 electric race bike has undergone a significant transformation, marking two years of meticulous development. The star of the show is its liquid-cooled powertrain, a testament to Ultraviolette’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle (EV) technology. The F99 stands as a beacon of innovation with active aerodynamics, setting the stage for a thrilling racing experience.
Aerodynamics Redefined: Speed Meets Precision
A pivotal element in the F99’s evolution has been the meticulous attention to aerodynamics. The air intakes at the front ingeniously channel air to create an air curtain over the rider’s helmet at high speeds, optimizing performance. Carbon-fiber winglets, strategically activated when leaned over, further reduce drag with an impressive 30 degrees of actuation. This aerodynamic prowess is poised to maximize the F99’s top speed, setting it apart in the electric racing realm.
120hp Thunder: Powering the F99
The F99 doesn’t just look the part; it delivers an exhilarating performance. With a peak power of 90kW and a weight of 178kg, the F99 accelerates from 0-100kph in a claimed 3 seconds, rivaling some of the fastest Japanese 600cc supersports. The top speed of 265kph establishes the F99 as a formidable contender on the racing circuit. The air-cooled battery, coupled with a liquid-cooled motor and controller, ensures a dynamic and efficient power delivery.
2025 Global Launch: A Glimpse into the Future
Ultraviolette Automotive has set its sights on a global stage, with plans to launch the F99 worldwide in 2025. The F99 employs a distinctive frame to harness its performance, equipped with top-tier components such as Ohlins suspension and Brembo monobloc calipers. The 400-volt battery architecture, a departure from the F77’s 60-volt system, and a meticulously engineered underbraced milled swingarm attest to Ultraviolette’s commitment to elevating the EV racing experience.
European Odyssey: F77 Limited Variant
In parallel, Ultraviolette showcases its European-spec F77, representing the highest-spec Limited variant. With peak output figures of 30kW and 100Nm, this variant maintains the F77’s renowned 10.3kWh battery pack. Priced between 9,000-11,000 euros, Ultraviolette opens registrations on its official website from November 15, offering a glimpse into the premium electric biking experience.
