Galatea
All electric roadster by Faraday Motor
Works
Creation of Galatea
• Galatea was born out of an idea of
creating an affordable all electric roadster
completely out of off-the shelf parts to
improve reliability and cut cost of
ownership.
• To improve driver experience Galatea
uses all electric propulsion together with
aesthetic body of the historic XJ13 Jaguar.
Design of Galatea
• The body for the Galatea was selected to be a replica of
the famous Jaguar XJ13
• In 1967 XJ13 was Jaguar’s first V-12 platform and
answer to the challenge to remain competitive in the
LeMans racing circuit.
• Aesthetic appeal of XJ13 was so strong that Jaguar
discontinued its production for fear that it will cannibalize
sales of then successful model E-type
• Only one XJ13 was ever build.
• The famous Jaguar now resides at Jaguar Daimler
Heritage Trust Museum, attracting attention and visitors
from all over the world.
XJ13 Reborn
• Although XJ13 is not available for private
ownership, replica version of the body is
now available in a kit form from a number
of suppliers.
• Galatea combines the body of XJ13 with
all electric propulsion system.
• All of the Galatea components and
subassemblies are available in catalogs.
Construction of Galatea
• Unlike the original XJ13 that was build as
a prototype to race once, the body of
Galatea was redesigned using modern
materials and manufacturing techniques
for an extended use, safety and durability.
• Addition of an all electric propulsion drive
further enhances performance and energy
efficiency.
Comparsion between XJ13 and
Galatea
• Jaguar XJ13:
•
•
•
•
Top speed: 175 mph (at
MIRA)
Engine:
Quad
overhead cam 4.993L
Jaguar V-12 – mid engine
Max HP:
502 @ 7,600
RPM
Max Torque: 386 lbs ft @
6,300 RPM
• Galatea:
• Top speed: 150 mph
• Engine:
312V AC electric
motor
• Max HP:
105
• Max Torque:
325 lbsft @ 0 to 8000 rpm
• Unlike piston engines that have low torque at low rpm an electric
motor maintains constant torque over a wide range of rpm
Electric Advantage
• Zero emission! Galatea produces no harmful emissions
of any kind.
• Low cost of ownership. Electric cars need very little
maintenance compared with gasoline counterparts. 2c
/mile compared with 10 c/mi for typical gasoline engine.
• High efficiency: Electric car gets an equivalent of 230
mpg.
• Completely constructed from off-the shelf parts to cut
cost and lead time
• Cost $60000
• Lead time <3 weeks
Galatea
• When a creator falls
in love with his work,
it comes alive.
