TECHRULES TO UNVEIL PRODUCTION SUPERCAR DESIGN AT 2017 GENEVA MOTORSHOW



Beijing, 16 November 2016 – Techrules, the Beijing-based automotive research and development company, will present the final design of its first production car on 7 March 2017 at the 87th Geneva Motor Show.
The design of the Techrules GT96 supercar is being undertaken by world-renowned automotive designers Fabrizio and Giorgetto Giugiaro.
Matthew Jin, Chief Technical Officer of Techrules, said: “We have been working tirelessly with the Giugiaro team on the design of the GT96 for many months, and it will be a proud moment when we present the production design of China’s first supercar in Geneva in March. Our dream of seeing turbine-recharging electric vehicles on the roads is getting closer to reality.”
Fabrizio Giugiaro commented: “The Techrules GT96 is the flagbearer for a truly revolutionary electric vehicle technology, and we reflect this innovation in the production car’s design.
“Not only does the car feature unique and bold styling attributes to make an immediate impression, but it is also extremely versatile, enabling different configurations for road, track and race, for example. The design spearheads distinctive Techrules styling characteristics that will in the future be seen across a family of models,” said Fabrizio Giugiaro.
The GT96 promises blistering performance thanks to Techrules’ innovative, proprietary Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) powertrain. Engineering and production partner, L.M. Gianetti, will begin production of up to 25 units per year in late 2017 at its facility in Turin, Italy. Initial output will be a track variant, before a fully homologated road version as well as other cars in more conventional vehicle segments follow over the next few years with the TREV system configured for optimal efficiency.
Revolutionary technology
The TREV system is an all-new patent-protected series hybrid powertrain technology comprising a turbine-generator. TREV combines extensive experience of aviationand electric vehicle technologies with several proprietary technical innovations, delivering unprecedented levels of efficiency and performance, and ultra-low environmental impact.
The TREV range-extender system uses a micro-turbine to generate electricity, which powers the motors that drive the wheels. Excess electricity generated by the micro-turbine is stored in newly-developed batteries. This stored energy can also power the motors should further electricity be required. The high efficiency of the TREV range extender results in a requirement for fewer batteries, saving weight and space.

Aventador S | The design draws inspiration from predators and aeronautics

As much as the Aventador is the car most entitled to represent the Lamborghini brand values, the Aventador S is the expression of the Lamborghini flagship par excellence, embodying the utmost synergy between design and engineering in pure Lamborghini style. The “S” has existed for 50 years The first Lamborghini S model was launched 50 years ago to represent the evolution of already revered icons.

1985 Audi Sport Quattro: The Group B Homologation Special

In Austria in 1980, just a year after four-wheel drive cars became eligible to compete in the WRC, Audi debuted the first Quattro rally car and forever changed the sport. Over the next half of the decade (and onwards, if you count the Pikes Peak specials), these Audis would be subjected to a period of rapid iterative evolution that led to the short-wheelbase Sport Quattro models that helped define the infamously fast and dangerous era of Group B rallying. The relatively lax nature of the Group B regulations gave rise to a number of downright ferocious cars from Audi’s competitors (most notable being Lancia and Peugeot), and while it was not the most successful nor technologically advanced of these top tier cars by the end of the Group B era, the Sport Quattro is a worthy poster child for the lot of them—being first to the punch has its advantages. The advent of the Group B class provided manufacturers with practically every leeway imaginable given they adhered to a basic s...
