Hyundai Motor Company enters the electrified race car world with a bang. Introducing the RM20e Racing Midship Sports Car, which is currently being used as a “rolling lab” for testing high performance technologies, boasting 810 horsepower and 708 lb.-ft. of torque to variable road surfaces. However, this isn’t their first electric race car, as in 2019, Hyundai developed the ‘Veloster N eTCR’ for the eTCR electric touring car series.

The massive power enables the RM20e to accelerate from 0-62 mph in less than three seconds and 0-124 mph at 9.88 seconds. The vehicle has a midship-based motor placement and rear-drive layout to give it the traction required for this level of acceleration. There’s no word yet on if we’ll ever see a production version of this electrified race car.
