Rice Advanced Engineering Systems and Research's Tachyon Speed Hypercar

RAESR

Founded in 2014 by Eric Rice, Rice Advanced Engineering Systems and Research (RAESR) is a California-based startup focused on hand-built electric hypercars and high-performance electric powertrains. They're currently working on their first production automobile. Their Tachyon Speed is an all-electric hypercar that produces a combined output of 1,250 horsepower and 3,650 pound-feet of torque. Designed to offer ultimate road performance, the Tachyon Speed features an all-wheel-drive system and six direct-drive electric motors. In its high-downforce mode, the car generates over 400 pounds of downforce. The rear wing is adjustable, and the bodywork is made of carbon fiber.

The RAESR Tachyon Speed has a top speed of over 240 mph, and can sprint 0-60 mph in three seconds. Its electric powertrain can generate a power burst of 1.4 megawatts. This can allow the car to reach speeds of 217 mph in reverse, and cover 150 miles between charges in city driving conditions.

The car's body is made of carbon fiber, and the interior is lined with Kevlar. It's also built around a central seat that has built-in controls. A pair of double-hinged doors at the rear can open and close with ease. Its chassis is a chromium molybdenum tube frame. Its total dry weight is 1,338 kg, and its aerodynamics produce a drag coefficient of 0.39. The front end is equipped with four fixed wings and a large diffuser at the back. The center of gravity is set low and the steering wheel has built-in controls.

The Tachyon Speed has a range of 300+ miles. It can travel between charges in urban traffic conditions, and has a top speed of 240 mph. When the battery is fully charged, it can accelerate from 0 to 120 mph in less than 7 seconds. The RAESR Tachyon Speed can also be used to reverse at a rate of 217 mph.

The company is currently taking reservations for potential buyers. The Tachyon Speed is one of the lightest electric cars in Forza Horizon 4. It also features active aerodynamic flaps and a jet fighter-style canopy.

The bodywork is made of Kevlar and is covered in a carbon fiber tub. It features an electric-powered, all-wheel-drive system that provides stability and traction. The steering wheel is also positioned in the middle of the cockpit. The car's steering system is powered by a programmable controller, and the electric brakes can be operated from the steering wheel.

The Tachyon Speed's electric powertrain and high-performance aerodynamics are the result of the company's R&D in energy storage and high-performance electric powertrains. The electric motors deliver a combined output of 3,650 lbft of torque, and can reach 240 mph. The electric motors are direct-drive, which allows them to eliminate torque multiplication.

The RAESR TachyonSpeed isn't in full production yet, but its unique features have captured the imagination of people all over the world. It's a true proof of concept for what an electric vehicle can do. It's one of the fastest vehicles on the planet.
