Located in Raseborg, Finland, Toroidion is a “new” builder founded in 2011 by Pasi Pennanen. For the Top Marques show, Toroidion presents the 1MW (that is 1000 kW) Concept, electric mega car, yes, electric.
Founded in 2011 by Pasi Pennanen, Toroidion worked 4 years to develop its supercar. As its name suggests, it is capable of developing up to 1 megawatt of power (1360 hp). It is enough to leave the Tesla S P85D and its 700 hp of power far behind.
Regularly, new brands appear, trying to give birth to extreme cars. Toroidion intends to give birth to a new electric car from Finland, whose name translates the power: 1 Megawatt. So 1000 kilowatts (or 1360 hp). Because after the 1000 hp bar crossed by the Bugatti Veyron, the ultimate bar now seems set at 1 megawatt. The power announced by the Koenigsegg One.
1MW Pure Electric Vehicle (BEV) is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery delivering a range of 515 km / 322 miles (NEDC). The Toroidion 1MW battery weighs 860 kg / (1896 lbs).
The Toroidion 1MW concept vehicle’s first mandate was to be the first electric vehicle to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which required designers to consider power-to-weight ratio and battery capacities. To build the most powerful electric vehicle in the world, the company couldn’t rely on the safety and performance of existing transmissions and electric motors and therefore had to design its own technologies. Toroidion direct drive electric motors generate high speed torque and transmit it directly to each wheel without the use of gears or transmission.
To enable the vehicle to participate in a 24 hour race, Toroidion patented the Rapid Swap battery allowing rapid battery release and would require more than ten battery swaps during the 3000 km of Le Mans 24 hour race. The Rapid Swap Battery System is easy to use and requires no technical knowledge, making it ideal for personal use. The Toroidion 1MW and Rimac Concept One compete for the most powerful EV supercar.
1 MW power and performance
The transmission of the Toroidion 1MW consists of 2 electric motors at the front and 2 at the rear of the car, the front motors each emit 268 kW (359 hp), while the rear motors reach a maximum power of 300 kW ( 402 hp) each. The maximum system power produced by the two engines together is 1000 kW (1341 hp). Each of the electric motors at the front generates 4500 N.m / 3319 lb.ft of torque, while the two rear electric motors produce 7500 N.m / 5532 lb.ft. per wheel, providing a total system torque of 24,000 N.m / 17,702 lb-ft.
The top speed of the 2015 Toroidion 1MW is 450 km/h (281 mph) and 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.
Dimentions and price
The dimensions of the 1MW are 4320mm (169.9 inch) x 1180mm 46.4 (inch).
Price of the 2015 Toroidion 1MW starts at 1 100 000 EUR.
Let us think a little bit what can we do with 1.1 Million EUR. You can buy a villa at the sea shore, 62 Bitcoins or 40 JAC iEV7S electric SUVs. With that much JACs you can open a taxi company with electric premium class SUVs only in the city. No need to pay for gasoline, cheap costs and lots of profit.
