Electric Volkswagen Beetle 6500HP Drag Racing
This custom-built electric Volkswagen Beetle making 6500hp is a drag racing monster that holds its own against any vehicle. Power comes from four permanent magnet Axial flux AC three-phase motors, with each boasting a continuous power output of 565 hp, so 2260 hp of constant horsepower combined. They can be pushed to achieve a peak power output of 4780 kW (6,500 hp).



A 22 kWh battery by Current Racing stores all of that power, complete with a maximum voltage of 800 volts. You can charge this batter at 20 kW through the CHAdeMO charger installed in the front of the vehicle, while four inverters convert the DC power coming from the battery into the AC power as well as control the rotation speed inside the motors. When you have a group of friends and family to transport, there’s this self-driving electric VW ID. Buzz Robotaxi.
