Elation Hypercars unveiled the Freedom last fall and now the model is inching closer to production as the company has announced a strategic partnership with Cascadia Motion. Under the terms of the deal, the companies will work together to develop the Freedom’s electric powertrain. The base model is slated to have three electric motors that produce a combined output of approximately 1,427 hp and 1,440 Nm of torque.
If that’s not powerful enough, the company
also has plans for a quad motor variant with around 1,903 hp. This should enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in
approximately 1.8 seconds, before hitting a limited top speed of 418
km/h. The Freedom will be offered with two different T-shaped battery packs,
which are structural and have a capacity of 100 or 120 kWh. The former is
targeted to deliver a range of 483 km, while the latter should
increase that distance to 644 km.
Two different charging systems will be
available including a standard J1772 setup. Customers can also get a “≤350 kW
CCS fast charge” system that allows for an 80% charge in as little as 12 minutes.
If you have an additional eight minutes, the battery pack can be fully
replenished under ideal conditions.
There’s still no word on when the Freedom
will be launched but, when the car was announced, Elation said pricing would
start at US$ 2 (£ 1.5 / € 1.7) million. At the time, the company also mentioned an
Iconic variant with a 5.2-liter V10 engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission and an all-wheel drive system. It’s slated to have 750+ hp and a 0-100 km/h time of 2.5 seconds.
