Finnish Company Reveals 1,300 HP Electric Supercar
A Finnish automaker has debuted an all-electric supercar.
Named the Toroidion 1MW, the electric supercar was revealed at Top Marques in Monaco and looks to set its sight on toppling the Koenigsegg One:1. According to the company, the all-electric powertrain makes 1,341 hp (1,000 kW) in a two-seat, stylish body. Toroidion also said that the new powertrain is scalable for different applications, suggesting that the Finnish automaker is considering less powerful variants, or even cheaper offerings for the market.
The battery utilized in the system was developed for quick swapping, enabling the car to be used on the track by changing the module in pit lane. In fact, Toroidion noted that the company was established in 2011 with the aim to develop an entirely new electric powertrain “that could be competitive at the Le Mans 24-hour race.”
