But what you really want to know is how much power it makes, and the figure may surprise you. Williams quotes a figure of 430 kilowatts, or 577 horsepower. Not a lot, is it? But don’t forget that the OEM can still fit their own systems, and this platform’s potential for multiple e-motor configurations allows all- or rear-wheel drive.
In fact, with the right setup, Williams estimates that it would be possible to lap the Nurburgring in under 7:20.000. Yes, that’s slower than even the BMW M4 CSL can do it, and that’s far from a hypercar, but with relatively low weight, the potential for immensely powerful motors, and a layout created by people with true motorsport experience, the EVRh gives us a glimmer of hope that pure EVs need not be our destiny.
We hope to see an OEM take advantage soon.
