China-based Techrules is bringing the Ren RS
electric hypercar to the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, on March 6. Previewed at last
year’s Swiss automotive event, it’s designed for track-use only and comes in a
single-seat configuration, with a lightweight construction, and futuristic
styling courtesy of Giugiaro.
The Techrules’ Ren RS will be available with either
four or six electric motors. In its most potent form, it uses two motors at the
front and four at the rear, delivering a total of 1,305 PS. This
allows it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3 seconds, and up to a top
speed of 330 km/h.
Feeding the electric motors is a diesel range
extender, along with a 28kWh battery pack. The small automaker claims a range
of up to 1,170 m, with 80 liters of fuel in the tank. Besides
having an entirely new product that’s finalized, Techrules is also currently in
talks with different potential international automotive partners. The automaker
wants to form strategic alliances that would assist them with the production
and launch of vehicles in global markets.
Meanwhile, they’re also making “significant
investments” into R&D, creating and testing various components for
different types of turbines, belonging to both commercial as well as passenger
vehicles.
