For today’s #futurefridays, the car enthusiast in me has its juices flowing.
With all they hype about the new Cybertruck, people either love it or hate it. And the hate is mostly about the design.
So what if you can pick any car you want, based on how you like the design, and then just make it go electric. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
That’s exactly what the wizards at Stard Advanced Research and Development in Austria have done.
And it’s going to go full swing in 2020 racing at the World Rallycross Championship.
Imagine having the power to go 0-60 in 1.8 seconds. That’s faster than an F1 car!
The kit that they’ve developed has an all-wheel-drive drivetrain powered by 3 electric motors – 1 in front and 3 at the back, giving the car a total of 600hp, and a staggering 1100N-m of torque instantly available within 1 millisecond.
Even private teams can build their own electric rallycross cars based on the kit technology and the technical systems provided by Stard for a full and practical integration into these cars.
Check out the video. If you’re a true car guy, it’s going to be one of the best 4 minutes and 17 seconds of your life. You’ll thank me later.

What I love about what Stard has done is that they manufactured it as a kit. Which means you can work with them for integrations with just about any car imaginable.
I bet if this becomes highly successful, and I’m pretty sure it will, that this will become an option for people who modify cars.
Ever thought about putting an LS V8 into your Mazda RX-7 track/drift car or Nissan Patrol offroader? Why not go electric!
Thinking about getting a Cybertruck but the look hasn’t grown on you? Turn your Toyota into an Electric Vehicle!
Driving your Supra and this Ferrari guy mocks you? Send all 1100N-m of torque into the pavement and leave him in your wake. You’ll just have to get used to not having those turbo blow-off valve sounds. LOL!
So tell me, what’s your favorite car, and if you had the chance, would you make it go electric?
