Koenigsegg and Rimac are working together on a new hypercar

The news that Koenigsegg and Rimac Automobili will work together on a new electric hypercar surprised many. Earlier, Koenigsegg CEO Christian von Koenigsegg said the company did not want to produce an electric car. However, his opinion seems to have changed after the news that Koenigsegg will work with Rimac Automobili to develop “Project Spöke.”

For now, there are no photos of the still unnamed electric hypercar. Koenigsegg seems to want everyone to know that Project Spöke is coming. The car will be powered by Koenigsegg’s electric motors. Those who are better acquainted with the events in Koenigsegg are familiar with the company’s inverter David and the electric motor Quark from the Gemer model equipped with Rimac batteries.

With the new car, Koenigsegg wants to improve its current offering. The hypercar will be equipped with a Rimac battery, and it is the same technology used for the Rimac Nevera and Pininfarina Batista models. The combination is perfect, and the 800-volt technology provides an impressive charging speed. Unofficially, the hypercar could easily develop 2,000 hp.

More information about the car is expected by April next year, and potential confidential buyers have already received teasers.

Elektron Motors Truva with 1,400 hp

Like Rimac Automobili, Elektron Motors is working to develop a new electric car. The company recently released a teaser of its upcoming supercar called the Truva with 1,400 hp.

Elektron Motors previously unveiled its hypercar called the Quasar, which develops 2,300 hp. He is now preparing for an equally exciting car called the Truva.

The front of the Truva is similar in design to the Lotus Evia, as is the Acure Type R. The glass parts are reminiscent of a McLaren, but the overall design isn’t bad at all.

The company’s Facebook profile reads:

“Every car we develop at Elektron Motors will be designed to be victorious. And yet they will also be graceful. ”

The Truva is powered by three electric motors, two of which deliver power to the rear and one to the front wheels. Elektron says that the engines deliver 1,400 hp, that the car has an innovative composite chassis and excellent handling. It will use a 100 kWh battery, and the range is unknown at this time.

The car can be expected in 2023 at a price of about $ 700,000.
