Toroidion

Toroidion is a Finnish car manufacturer, which is domiciled in Raasepori. In 2015 it introduced the electric super car 1MW Concept. [1][2] Toroidion Ltd claims to have developed new technologies that solve many of the current practical problems of electric cars, including the insufficient duration of batteries. No information of these technologies have yet been publicly announced. [3] Electric motors used are claimed to be of new design, although more detailed information has not yet been announced. More information of the new motors used are expected to be announced around the time of 2016 Paris motor show. [4][5]

Toroidion 1MW Concept

The electric supercar has 1 megawatt (1341 HP) of power, making it one of the most powerful supercars. [1][2] Each wheel is powered by its own motor. Front wheels have 200 kW motors and rear wheels have 300 kW motors. The car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 400 km/h in 11 seconds. The battery of the car is of rapid-swap and high-capacity type. Toroidion 1MW Concept took the title of the world's most powerful all-electric supercar away from the Rimac Concept One. [6] [7] Price of the car is expected to be around 1.5 to 3.5 Million USD.[8]

Toroidionin teknologiasta kuullaan lisää vasta noin vuoden päästä, sillä patentit tulevat julkisiksi vasta vuoden 2016 Pariisin autonäyttelyn tienoilla."
