The advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) are well-known: nonpolluting operation, a renewable power source, safety, and low cost of operation. The disadvantages include limitations on speed, operating range, and convenience as well as the high cost of converting existing vehicles to electric operation; while acknowledging such other disadvantages as lack of effective heating, air conditioning, and power steering, EV advocate Brant says some of the best-known ones are myths. Speed, for instance, is related to body weight, and less weight means more speed. (Weight is, however, also a factor in safety: lighter weight often means less safety, especially in collisions, and Brant doesn't mention the collision factor.) Brant provides comprehensive instruction in converting a vehicle to electric power.
So we will make my own and control it with a micro processer. A PIC or ARV or AREM are what we think. but Which will be fast enough? we Want a fast acceleration so must have a fast micro pro cesser. Will a AREM acceleraet quickly or will a PIC be better?
We are serious and will be working withj hard work to progress this amazing project.
Good help will be treated well.
Why such a limited choice of processors? What about ColdFire? Just think about it for a minute: your engine will run cool, yet it will have that special spark.
nonpolluting operation,
electric vecicles do not eliminate pollution, they move it to the power plant.

Your motor control is at issue? and you need a 'fast processor' to control it?
IF that is your question then you must include the type of motor control you plan on using.
Most likely it will be PWM generated. Keil supported processors will have flavors with the PWM (PCA) built in.
Even the 8051 has the 'horse-power' to control a 3-phase PWM... and "accelerate" fast.
Generally speaking, if you are going to do any heavy motor control or loop-control mathematics, then you might consider a DSP like Texas Instrument's TMS2000 series.
But usually an ARM processor can handle a wide range of applications and it is becoming The Standard 16/32 bit controller.
I'd recommend either an 8051 with a PCA, or an ARM (with PWM/PCA). Keil's Demo tools should be capable of some simple motor control (if thats your issue).
It is just that your question is too vague to answer properly. So please spend some more time defining your system requirements before asking which processor to use.
