A california company is developing an electric car that was completely insane called Tachyon Speed.

In fact, RAESR (Rice Advanced Engineering Systems & Research) is working on a daring project: to design a supercar fully powered by electricity.

The total power estimated of its six electric motors – yes, yes, six! – amounts to 1200 horsepower. But wait, this is nothing compared to its torque, which translates to 3650 pounds-foot. The intensity of the battery is 2650 amperes.

Built in carbon fibre, the bodywork is as light as possible.

The car has made one of its first sorties in recent days in order to realize a session of photos in the lake El Mirage.

In city driving, the manufacturer provides the autonomy to be approximately 241 kilometers (150 miles).

The announced performances are breathtaking : 0-96 km/h in 3 seconds and 0-193 km/h under 7 seconds.

Of course, with such power, it must also be able to stop. This will not be a problem Tachyon Speed, which will be equipped with carbon ceramic brakes.

It is also important to note that it is very low. It to me is that as 103 centimeters. In comparison, the Honda Civic 2017 to a height of 142 centimeters.
