Ararkis Automobili, a visionary startup, promises to bring the fastest car in the world, the Ararkis Sandstorm, to the world. However, for now, this promise only exists in the digital world, as the car has not yet been built. Despite this, the Sandstorm is presented as a breathtaking hypercar, with a real price of $2 million.
The Sandstorm, with the Ararkis Automobili emblem, is announced as capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.5 seconds, surpassing the current record held by the Rimac Nevera, which is 1.74 seconds. However, it is important to note that the Nevera is a real car, already built and sold by the Croatian startup Rimac.
The maximum speed of the Sandstorm will be electronically limited to 300 km/h, while the Nevera reaches 412 km/h, and even set a world speed record in reverse gear of 275.74 km/h.
So far, Ararkis Automobili has only shared renderings of an extremely aggressive and futuristic model, with a large windshield that extends from the beginning of the LED headlights to the roof. The headlights extend from the front splitter to the muscular fenders, towards the cameras that replace the side mirrors.
At the rear, there is an active wing connected to the roof, situated above the horizontal taillights that resemble the Aston Martin Vulcan, and curiously, something that appears to be dual exhaust pipes, which raises questions, as we are talking about an electric hypercar.
Ararkis plans to build only 20 units of the Sandstorm, all on a custom chassis made of carbon fiber and aluminum composites. The company mentions that two custom high-performance electric motors will power the vehicle, but has not yet released details about the power.
Power will be supplied by a 115 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, allowing a range of up to 500 kilometers, with the possibility of charging from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes.
A startup, based in the UK, where the model is being developed and will be built, plans to debut the Sandstorm in July of this year, marking its entry into the physical world from the digital.
