The Powertrain

  • 4 Quad Core Motors with over 1,000 horsepower
  • 0-60 in less than 3 seconds
  • Top speed: +200MPH

Variable Platform Architecture (VPA)

To create our powertrain, we started from the ground up with our Variable Platform Architecture (VPA). It features a new battery structure, arranged into modular strings and centrally placed for integrity.
