Ariel Motor Company (AMC) unleashed their flagship HIPERCAR in a fully operational mode that resembles DC’s Batmobile but is a high-performance all-electric sports car. The company will roll out limited numbers of HIPERCARS, the short form of High-Performance Carbon Reduction. For the first time, fully activated prototypes were displayed featuring a lightweight aluminium chassis.

AMC has a plan to run the samples through actual production, and that is why it was keen on displaying fully operational prototypes. It might have an unreal appeal but can be trusted for extreme performance, agility, lightweight and usage. Additionally, Ariel also provides zero-emission guarantees and a lightweight turbine range extender.
The HIPERCAR is essentially run by electricity and will be purchasable in variations of both four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. The car is equipped with an 1180 bhp engine which can reach the speed of 96.5 kph from zero in 2.09 seconds, also 161 kph from zero in 4.4 seconds.
The HIPERCAR has been constituted around a lightweight aluminium-bonded chassis with aluminium front and rear sub-frames. This move has been very wise on the part of the company because aluminium is lighter than steel, which means no external weight would be added to the car due to the aluminium framework. It also showcases a full carbon fibre body.
The car is energized with the help of a Cosworth 800 Volt, 62 kWh lithium-ion, temperature-regulated battery pack. The electric range of the car without any range extender is 241 km on the WLTP cycle.
An optional Cosworth 35 kW Catalytic Generator turbine range extender would be provided with the HIPERCAR so that it can be charged on the go. Otherwise, the car’s battery can be charged conventionally at a charging station or at the comfort of a user’s residence. This eliminates any near-anxiety issues for the customer and makes the maintenance of the vehicle smooth and free from any quotations.
Equipmake APM motors have developed the wheels with integral inverters and single-speed step-down gearboxes directly attached to driven wheels. One motor can develop 295 bhp and 45.88 kgm of torque.
Though there are some minor corrections regarding HIPERCAR’s design and the specifications have not yet been decided, it is scheduled to be retail released by 2024.
