Woah this electric race car from Subaru produces a whopping 1,073HP … can any one guess the cost of this beast?
Taken from Engadget … Subaru is still new to EVs, but that isn’t stopping it from unveiling more ambitious projects. Electrek reports the automaker has introduced two concept EVs at the Tokyo Auto Salon, including its first all-electric race car. The STI E-RA Concept hints at Subaru’s upcoming track vehicle with 1,073HP of total power from its four Yamaha motors, extensive downforce and all-wheel drive mated to a “unique” torque vectoring system that maximizes grip and stability.
While the 60kWh battery is relatively small, Subaru is confident the E-RA can thrive on the track. It’s hoping to set a Nürburgring lap time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds at some point in 2023. That’s not as quick as VW’s ID.R (6 minutes 5 seconds), but it’s comfortably ahead of road cars like Tesla’s Model S Plaid (7 minutes 35 seconds). The company plans to test the E-RA at Japanese racing circuits later in 2022.
