ZHAN Lives!


Zhan Motorwerks of Hoestaffen Oberweissburg has moved to Gregg Junction to produce its 100% electric supere-car the all new 1100. It is true that the 1100 is the one and only production label of the Zhan car company. But they figure why muck around trying to come up with a different name, or number.

The old 1100 used Nuclear Fusion drive to heat the water that powered the crankshaft of cast iridium to give the old 1100 its impressive 2000 HP and 1600 ft pounds of trouque at 7000rpms. The liquid sodium cooling system provided superb nuclear reaction of the 1 pound ball of Uranium 235. Of course the big draw back to the old 1100 was the fact that it was totally illegal to drive almost everywhere. And all sorts of terrible side effects of a collision meant that nobody wanted to be anywhere around it if it did have an accident.

The new 1100 is totally different. It has shelved its nuclear reactor and in its place a subatomic reactent membrane delivers electical power to the motor. This mindboggling achievement is still a very tight secret. Aparently Zhan has been able to organically create a self-organizing gel that converts random subatomic interference with the cars surface into DC power. In principle it is similar to a photo electric cell that uses photons striking the cell to generate power. The faster the car goes the more power is sent through the skin to the powerplant. Since it uses particles other than photos, night driving is not a problem.

The new 1100 is not as fast as the elder machine. It only generates 750 HP @ 6300 rpms and 700 ft-lb of torque. However it does not red line until the full 6300 rpms has been reached. Its tops speed is in excess of 200mph and has a 0-100mph at 6 seconds. The engine is aircooled so don't get stuck in a traffic jam.
