Unveiled at the 2015 Top Marques Monaco, the Toroidion 1MW is a jaw dropping electric supercar concept coming straight from Finland and ready to take over the world with an insane amount of horsepower! It promises to offer exactly 1,341 bhp (or 1,000 kW) – hence the 1MW name – from four electric motors coupled directly at every wheel.
The hand-built supercar is fully road legal and has been developed entirely in house, with the front axle housing a pair of motors who can deliver 268 hp (200 kW) each and the rear axle featuring another pair of engines that can produce 402 hp (300 kW) each.
Blending a retro design with modern features and technology, the Toroidion 1MW comes with gullwing doors and an all new electric powertrain that should be able to offer different levels of power for different applications. The car’s motors are powered by high performance lightweight batteries with rapid swap capabilities in the pit lane or in your home garage.
The Finnish specialty marque Toroidion was founded just a couple of years ago, back in 2011, by Pasi Pannanen who wanted to develop an all electric supercar that could even take part in the 24 hours endurance race from Le Mans. We don’t know if the 1MW is capable of doing that yet, but it’s surely a big step forward.
More details about this exciting electric supercar will be revealed in the next months and I’m sure we’d all want to hear the 1MW’s performance figures as soon as possible!
