Last year, Drako Motors surprised car enthusiasts at Pebble Beach with its new model – the Drako GTE. Armed with exaggerated performance figures, the EV hypercar has challenged the niche, but surprisingly, electrified cars that can challenge even fossil fuel supercars.
The Drako GTE has four electric motors, one on each wheel, producing a combined power of 1,200 horsepower (895 kilowatts). If this number is high, wait to hear about its 6,491 lb-ft (8,800 newton-meter) torque.
Now these numbers were incredible for sure, and we won’t blame you if you have any reservations about this EV hypercar. Fortunately, veteran and legendary Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni went to the Drako GTE to give us a glimpse of the interior of his cockpit while testing his limits at the Thermal Club Raceway.
“My professional life has been devoted to finding innovative solutions to improve the performance and the feeling of the driver behind the wheel. Now, having driven Drako GTE, I have entered a whole new world of incredible power and incredible control, “said Balboni.
You can watch the beginnings of the Drako GTE track on the video at the top of this page, as well as Balboni’s information on the EV hypercar.
“However, it’s the turn that elevates the GTE above all the GT cars I’ve driven. I really love the way this car feels when it turns and crosses corners – it’s something something I’ve never experienced before in a car with these dimensions. I didn’t want to stop, it’s a really addictive and addictive workout, “he added.
That said, the Drako GTE remains promising and seems to remain faithful to its claim to develop its torque vectoring algorithms at the Nürburgring. Note, Drako says that the GTE can adjust the torque on each wheel more than 1000 times per second.
Drako will only build 25 GTE models at $ 1.25 million each. Deliveries to customers are expected to begin this year.
