Techrules has dropped new images of its
production-spec GT96 supercar.
The images reveal that the road-going GT96 will
adopt a design quite different from the concept and include a central driving
position, a fighter jet-esque canopy roof and a large central spin spanning the
length of the car. Due to the
flexibility of the chassis used in the car, different driving positions will be
configurable.
The finished GT96 will include
the same powertrain as the concept. If that’s the case, then it will
incorporate six electric traction motors with four driving the rear wheels and
two powering the front. All up, peak power will sit at approximately 1,030 hp,
allowing the GT96 to accelerate to 100 km/h in approximately 2.5
seconds before topping out at 350 km/h.
Another interesting aspect of the car’s powertrain
is that it also uses an advanced micro-turbine generator. Inspired by aviation
technology, it drives a generator which helps to charge the battery pack.
