This electric car will take you places sans fuel
Helsinki, Sep 4: Here comes one-of-a-kind electric hyper car that will not only pump adequate adrenaline rush if you participate in a race but will also give you me time if you plan a family weekend getaway without fuel worries.
The Finnish Toroidion 1MW electric hyper car is completely electric, holding a 1,341 horse power engine with four direct drive motors -- reaching speeds of up to 400 km per hour in just 11 seconds.
It is powered by a battery that lasts roughly 500 kms and can be changed without coming to a complete stop.
We call it 'Toro' because it's like a raging bull. People talk about horse power, but with an electric car, you should call it bull power, Pasi Pennanen, designer and CEO of Toroidion Ltd, said in a statement released on Friday.
Displaying a retro design with gull-wing doors and fenders along with conventional trunk luggage space, Toro is not only a race car but a weekend getaway car too.
