Rejected F1 Team Takes To The Track With FZERO Hypercar https://lnkd.in/gbC6SdtM You may remember that last year, New Zealand-based Rodin Cars unveiled a V10 hypercar called the FZERO, and now it's reached the testing phase, which means glorious noises on track. The video is a little teasing as it doesn't fully explore the aural appeal of the car, but we're positive that more exciting stuff is coming. After all, this isn't some Audi R8 engine bolted into the back of a repurposed racecar chassis. The engine alone is a work of art that weighs just 291 pounds yet develops 1,159 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque. With two turbos and a hybrid, FZERO should be quick, but the really enticing part of the engine is that it revs to 10,000 rpm. Other highlights include 14.9-inch PFC carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston titanium calipers that are assisted by the hybrid system's regenerative braking abilities. Forged magnesium OZ Racing wheels built to F1 standards also appear, and Rodin claims up to 8,818 lbs of downforce. To put that in perspective, a McLaren Senna only generates up to 1,763 lbs.

Recently, the famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado with electric vehicles being put to the test. In its 102nd year running, the race features a brutal climb from 9,390 feet to 14,110 feet. Internal combustion engines with atmospheric induction would experience significant changes on engine torque with the variation in air pressure up this race - at the summit it would almost be running on half-throttle. Electric vehicles on the other hand have no altitude problem - they make the same peak torque in the vacuum of space as they do at sea level. The top time came from a modified Ford F-150 Lightning, driven by all-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record holder Romain Dumas, beating out the second place-holding 2024 Wolf Aurobay by about 11 seconds. Other key electric vehicle appearances included the Hyundai Ioniq 5N TA spec, driven by Dani Sordo, and racer Gardner Nichols, who drove a wrapped Rivian R1T in the race. This was also the first time an electric vehicle has served as the race’s pace car, with an Acura ZDX filling that role. See the full standings from the race below, as provided by Live Timing.

McLaren’s CEO, Michael Leiters, is confident that McLaren will be the first to produce an EV supercar, saying that if they can't do it, no one can. Focusing on both weight and speed, he shared that McLaren is hard at work developing a fully electric powertrain. While there are fast EVs like the Lotus Evija, McLaren aims to redefine the supercar by balancing top performance with reasonable weight. Despite market challenges, McLaren is confident in their ability to create an exciting and desirable EV supercar. Leiters stated, “We are working intensively on a pure electric powertrain. This will define how an EV supercar should be. I am convinced that the first EV supercar will be a McLaren.” #ev #mclaren #supercar #supercars

What's the difference between stock suspensions and high-performance coilovers? Our pilots from our Race Team investigated this matter at ATP, Papenburg. Back on the track, Steve Alvarez Brown, Jimmy Broadbent and Misha Charoudin tested three different BMW G20s. One equipped with #OEM suspension, the others with our #EVOS and the #EVOR. In various disciplines, they examined the driving dynamics of the cars. Their conclusion: The stock suspension already works quite well, the EVO S represents the perfect compromise between dynamics and comfort and the EVO R is the perfect partner for ambitious trackday and motorsport use. Check out the full-length reviews of the three drivers: Jimmy: https://lnkd.in/e87PuyQX Misha: https://lnkd.in/eX-7NsZg Steve: https://lnkd.in/e4e_TdCp Enjoy the impressions from the suspension comparison at #Automotive #Testing #Papenburg. #BILSTEIN #WAYAHEAD
