Electric vehicle startup Drako Motors has announced
plans to introduce their first vehicle at the Quail Motorsports Gathering on
August 16th. Dubbed the GTE, the model is billed as a “limited production fully
electric supercar” that delivers “exhilarating performance with maximum control
and safety.”
Little is known about the car, but the electric
vehicle will have four motors that produce a combined output of 1,200 hp and 8,800 Nm of torque. This will reportedly
enable the GTE to hit a top speed of 332 km/h.
There’s no word on range or the size of the battery
pack, but Drako says the car will have “cornering precision like no other
supercar on the road today.” They also claimed the GTE’s “immense power is
controlled with technology evolved from earning a Nürburgring lap record in
2015 during early stage development.”
The four seater was designed by Lowie Vermeersch and
his GranStudio team in Turin, Italy. He’s worked on a number of models including
the Ferrari California, FF and 458. He also played a role in creating the
stunning Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta concept and the Dallara Stradale.
The teaser clip for the Drako GTE doesn’t reveal
much, but it shows the model will have slender headlights and a curvaceous
hood. We can also see what appears to be a fully enclose grille and vertical
air intakes near the outside edges. While Drako Motors is relatively
unknown, the Silicon Valley-based company says they’ve spent nearly a decade
doing design, engineering and track development behind closed doors.
