Toroidion 1MW '15

[Miao]

After a teaser published in February, Finnish specialty marque Toroidion has unveiled the 1MW electric concept at 2015 Top Marques Monaco.

The retro-styled fully electric supercar with gullwing doors comes from Finland and promises to offer 1,341 bhp (1,000 kW), hence the “1MW” designation. Other details are scarce at the moment, but on the company's website we found out the vehicle will have high-performance lightweight batteries with rapid swap capabilities.

Matching the output of the Koenigsegg One:1, the Toroidion 1MW is a hand-built concept that promises to offer "scalable performance" and was built with lightweight components. The company says it's fully street-legal and has been designed, developed and built entirely in Finland.

The startup was established back in 2011 by Pasi Pennanen with the bold objective of developing an all-new electric powertrain suitable for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race. They are probably envisioning a racecar with hot swap batteries just like this 1MW concept.

More details will be revealed about the "innovative patented powertrain and lightweight concept car" after conducting a series of tests.

Very nice car.

I hope it can make it to production, haven't heard of any Finnish supercars at all, so that's their chance.

1341 hp from an eletric motor. Why can't Koenigsegg just buy Toroidion and put that on their Regera Hybrid hypercar?

The retro-styled fully electric supercar [...] 1,341 bhp (1,000 kW)

Wow. That's shocking.

[Bush]

That doesn't look bad.

It makes Bush remember of the Callaway Corvette, with some Spyker touch.

I second that. If it's done, Finland can finally be added to the Supercar World Map.

Electric cars shouldn't really be retro-styled...

At least this one isn't a complete rip off of a legendary car.

I care about it.

It's interesting how every Western European countries except Ireland have produced at least 1 supercar. But I also would like to know why Indonesia is in.

Well, thanks Warachia.

But you're wrong. Andorra, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino and the Vatican state (and Norway?) are all part of "West Europe" and all of them have never produced a supercar.

But I also would like to know why Indonesia is in.
