Hello Bidders, I am selling my barely used Torq Roadster because I am moving overseas soon. This is an extremely rare opportunity as there is only one of these on the road, in the world! If you are a shy person get ready for some serious attention. Everywhere you go it draws out cameras, and if parked, there will be a crowd. By far the coolest and most fun car I've ever driven. The Company who designed and built this car spent over $5 million on this project. By the time they were ready for marketing they were out of money. Very expensive car to produce. My car listed for over $89k, my starting price is a very good deal especially since it is like new. Repair? I get this question allot. The car is not like most that will need scheduled maintenance, oil changes and such, it's virtually maintenance free. If and when needed is very easy as all parts can be purchased and installed easily. Netgain is a very old and proven company in the electric vehicle space. The Torq uses their Motor (Warp 9), Their 1400v controller, Lithium battery's... and any electric golf cart repair shop, or, EV conversion company (Many in the world) can fix anything that might come up. It's a real basic car when it comes right down to it. Rims, Tires, suspension... all can be purchased anywhere. It was intended to be shipped and sold around the world so most parts come from Volkswagen and it has a BMW Transaxel from a Z3. Yes, a really simple electric car design is my point. If you are looking for all the comforts of most modern electric cars, Torq chose to go for Raw and more Exciting with light weight, an EV grin like no other, 1.3G Lateral handling, a blazing 0-60, and simple. End result... Awesome! Read what some have posted on message boards about this machine: Well HELLO White!!! Track kit with extra air cooling installed to give this beast even more impressive performance With a 0-60mph in 4 seconds and 2X the Torque of a Tesla Roadster what color do I want? I hear the white body panels can be easily removed and wrapped in any color; Chrome, colors, primers or any pattern you like. I love this white! 420lb-ft of TORQUE!!! Twice that of the Tesla Roadster!!! They do call it the TORQ for a reason So the TORQ weighs in at about 2,200 pounds. That's nearly 600 pounds less than a Tesla Roadster and a whopping 2,600 pounds less than a Model S. So, although the Model S has comparable torque to the TORQ Roadster (430 lb/ft) it is pulling the same weight as two TORQ Roadsters *and* a sport bike combined. The TORQ EV looks like a MONSTER side by side with a Tesla Roadster When do we get to see them race?!? I receive some common questions "Is this rear wheel drive?". In fact it is NOT. The TORQ is front wheel driven to keep the weight forward and your POWER on the road! To illustrate I snapped a picture of the electric motor in the front of the TORQ. Notice its almost at the nose and the differential is just behind it to drive the front wheels. How many miles do you get on a single charge? I've been getting 80-90 miles per charge on most cycles but it REALLY depends on how you drive it. If it is a REALLY aggressive drive then you could see the range dip by 20% or more. But if you drive it like a minivan then you can get over 100 miles on a charge!How long does it take to charge? It's designed to accept both a 110v 3 prong home style plug, and the industry standard EV station 240v plug-in. It can be charged as quick as 6-8 hrs. on the 240v plug and about a full day on the standard household 110v plug. The Torq has a 3.2kw variable voltage charger and a battery management system (BMS) Does it have a top? No, the Torq was not designed to have a top as they were targeting the hardcore buyer/collector/racer, they had not planned to market it to the buyer looking for their daily driver car but rather their 3rd. car. This is as close as I've seen and driven to being in an Indy F1 race car. The silent performance and open roadster design is breathtaking. The car is in great condition with just nearly hitting 2,400 miles, Tires are like new, paint looks great and the carbon ($10k upgrade) looks really cool! Sound system ($3k upgrade), Rocks! 5 point harnesses on both seats, interior is just about perfect. In this listing I had to use my 2005 BMW GS Vin # because I have yet to register the Torq with DMV. I was using my friends dealer plate. The Torq is classified as a Motorcycle, not a car. Very easy to insure and much lower cost than most cars. I have the Manufactures Statement of Origin (MSO) so all you will need to do is take it to any state DMV. Photos; The first 2 pictures here were taken today, the others were professional or Torq's pics. I will be taking some interior shots and add them soon. So there you have it, that's all I can think about at the moment. If you have any question, offers or maybe even trade ideas, I might be open to it. I can be reached at 310 863 0877 The car is located in Marina Del Rey, CA, 10 minutes away from LAX airport. If serious and want a test drive, let me know. Happy Bidding!
