Last year, New Zealand manufacturer Rodin Cars introduced a powerful racing supercar, the Rodin FZERO. The car is still in the development phase, and now the manufacturer has tested its capabilities on the test track in New Zealand.

Rodin FZERO is powered by a twin turbocharged 4.0L V10 RC.TEN engine (1,013 hp / 755 kW) @ 9,500 rpm combined with an electric motor (176 hp / 131 kW) for a total power of 1,176 hp (877 kW) and 516 lb -ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed sequential titanium gearbox. The top speed this car can reach is 360 km/h (223.6 mph).
“The concept with the FZERO is to create a car that’s quicker than a current Formula Oneā¦ I wanted to build the lightest, most compact 4.0-liter 10-cylinder engine possible,” said founder David Dicker.
FZERO is a 5500mm long and 2260mm wide car made of carbon composite body panels. It is equipped with a closed cockpit with one centrally positioned seat, large front wheel arches, carbon titanium double wishbone, adjustable ride height & camber, an aerodynamic package that includes front, rear and floor wings producing 4000kg of downforce.
This is not the first car this company has produced. In 2021, Rodin introduced the Formula 1 inspired FZED, based on the 2012 Lotus Type 125. It was powered by a 3.8L Cosworth GPV8 engine with 675 hp (503 kW) @ 9,600 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox.
