Watch out, Rimac: this new electric car also wants to be faster

It has to get to the point where the cars accelerate so fast that it’s as bad as hitting a wall at high speed, right? Electric cars certainly don’t care about this at the moment. We still remember when we had to find clean underwear after hitting 100 in 2.7 seconds in a Tesla Model S P100D and then Plaid still had to come, which does the same race in 2.3 seconds. However, even that is still a good half second slower than the world’s fastest production EV, because the Rimac Nevera does it in 1.81 seconds… And even that should seem possible even faster.

500 virtual kilometers

At least that’s what Ararkis claims – and no, you’re not suddenly here in a state of mental dissonance. Dunethe movies ended. Ararkis is a British startup that has taken its first step into the automotive industry, and that step can be counted on. Their Sandstorm not only looks futuristic, but also promises to deliver blood-curdling performance. For example, the distance from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour must be completed in 1.5 seconds, or 31 hundredths faster than the record holder Rimac Nevera. Later, the Ararkis would go on to a top speed of 300 km/h, which does not reach the Rimac, but could still be somewhere at the top of the list of fastest EVs… Because yes: the Sandstorm is purely electric and although the British give few details technical, but we can count on a range of 500 km from the 115 kWh battery.

That’s a virtual 500 km at this point, because the Sandstorm isn’t here yet. For example, all the pictures you see here are just renderings, so for now the Rimac Nevera’s record is completely out of jeopardy. However, Ararkis promises to change that, because they want to build a hypercar in a version of 20 copies. Their price: 2 million euros each, please.
