The single-seat race car is a lightweight, high-performance track variant of the Techrules Ren supercar that was first previewed at last year’s Geneva show.
The Ren RS features the China-based company’s ground-breaking Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) system. The series hybrid powertrain delivers unprecedented levels of efficiency and performance, using advanced micro-turbine technology to deliver an ultra-low environmental impact.
The final production design of the aerospace-inspired Ren RS now comes with a single cockpit layout and design modifications to improve aerodynamic and cooling efficiency.
The lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque chassis has been strengthened and configured for single-occupant track use by revered motorsport specialist, L.M. Gianetti of Turin, who also developed the new design elements following extensive aerodynamic analysis.
The modular chassis design permits a variety of powertrain configurations, to provide the range and performance capabilities required by the customer.
The flagship version – with a high-power 28.4 kWh Lithium-ion Polymer battery and with two motors at the front and four at the rear – delivers maximum power of 1,287hp with a range of 1,170km from 80 litres of diesel fuel (NEDC).
As a result, the most powerful Ren RS will rocket from 0-100 kph in just 3 seconds, onto a top speed of 330kph, delivering a unique blend of ultimate performance, brutal power and unparalleled efficiency.
The supercar will be available for track use only and delivered to an exclusive band of customers within two years.
Techrules is in discussion with potential international automotive partners to form strategic alliances to assist with the production and launch of vehicles for markets around the world.
“The unique modular design of the Ren chassis and powertrain has enabled us to create a perfectly engineered high-performance track car and demonstrate our TREV technology in the most efficient way," said Techrules founder/CEO William Jin.
"We are working hard to grow our global capabilities in engineering and manufacturing and will soon reveal major joint ventures that will enable us to further develop our innovative technology for a wide range of commercial mobility and industrial applications.”
