A Taiwanese startup electric car start-up called Xing Mobility claims to be building an electric supercar that could be even quicker than the Tesla.
Xing Mobility claims its supercar will have 1,341 horsepower, and will accelerate from 0 to 100 kph (0 to 62 mph) in just 1.8 seconds. The company also claims its car will have all-wheel drive and will be “rally inspired,” meaning it could be capable of driving on dirt or gravel as well as pavement.
As of right now, we don’t know what the supercar will look like, as Xing Mobility has only released photos of an engineering prototype called Miss R.
“The MISS R battery pack has a capacity of 52kWh, while the peak output is aimed at 1 megawatt,” stated Xing Mobility CEO Royce Hong. “We did not go with a pack with a larger capacity for the lighter weight purpose (entire battery enclosure weighs around 350kg), while demonstrating the cooling efficiency of our technology by the capability of ultra high discharge rate to produce that much power from a relatively small pack.”
Xing Mobility states that a limited production run of 20 cars will be made available early next year, at $1 million dollars. Watch out Tesla!

While Lamborghini and Ferrari have only introduced their own plug-in hybrid concepts, Technicar, a humble electric vehicle maker based in Siracusa, Sicily is taking shape in its first-ever Italian electric supercar. Designed by Giuseppe Ferrazzano, CEO of the company, this is a…
Think of supercars, and your thoughts might turn to Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, or Vipers. A South Korean vehicle with a Dutch electric drivetrain probably doesn’t spring to mind. Though that’s what you’re looking at here. It’s called the Oullim Motors Spirra EV, and according to Dutch site De Telegraaf, it’s due…
Electric child cars just got a billion times cooler. Don't look now, but your kids may end up owning a better car than you do. Do you remember how much you wanted a convertible Power Wheels in the 1990s? Well, imagine that car with an Android-powered infotainment system, Bluetooth-based remote control,…
