Wrightspeed Overview

Wrightspeed is an early-stage, privately funded Silicon Valley-based start-up company. We’re defining a new market segment for high-end sports cars – road cars with both extreme performance (0 – 60 mph in ~3 seconds, 0-100 in ~7 seconds) and extreme energy efficiency (150+ mpg equivalent). Our core technology is in the electric drive train: motor control, motors, battery systems, driver...More»

Wrightspeed is an early-stage, privately funded Silicon Valley-based start-up company. We’re defining a new market segment for high-end sports cars – road cars with both extreme performance (0 – 60 mph in ~3 seconds, 0-100 in ~7 seconds) and extreme energy efficiency (150+ mpg equivalent). Our core technology is in the electric drive train: motor control, motors, battery systems, driver interface. Because we believe driving is an experience, we put this technology in a high-end design package. Heads turn when the X1 prototype is driven down the street. Wrightspeed builds extreme performance electric supercars. With advanced electric drive train technology, our cars raise the performance driving experience to a new level – while still returning 3 times better energy efficiency than the most efficient cars available. Wrightspeed is building the X1, demonstrable today in a street-legal prototype, using lithium-ion batteries and a 3-phase electric motor.«Less
