Shortly after debuting its Lotus Seven-esque e1 electric sportscar at the Frankfurt Motor Show, e-Wolf has released images and details of its next model, the e2. Unlike the open-topped e1, the German firm’s e2 followup will feature a shape clearly inspired by any number of supercars from Italy, particularly the Lamborghini Reventon and Ferrari Enzo. If you’re going to copy, might as well go for the gold, no?

Powering the theoretical electric supercar will be one 134-horsepower electric motor per wheel for a total of 536 squeaky clean horses and an impressive 738 lb-ft of torque (1,000 Nm). The run to 60 is expected to be dispatched in well under four seconds, though the top speed may be capped at 155 miles per hour.

Energy storage will be by way of a lithium ion battery pack composed of 84 flat cells from CERIO. Although no details have been released on the pack’s stated capacity, e-Wolf suggests that range could be as high as 187 miles (300 kilometers) per charge after a recharge of just 30 minutes - of course it would take a powerful, specialized charger to achieve that result. Production is currently planned for 2011. Click past the break for the official press release.
