The R Zero sports car will be equipped with four electric in-wheel motors as its engine. R Zero's engine will be powered by lithium-ion 800 volts batteries that are capable of releasing great mass of power, not less than 450 watts/kg. The supercar R Zero will have an estimated weight of 2.2 tons (4,850 lbs), given that the batteries will weigh around 1,200kg and the four engines around 340kg, plus the body weight and accessories. Torque is expected to reach 2,168 lb-ft while horsepower is set at around 1,091 hp at 12,900 rpm. With individual batteries providing power to each individual engine, the sports car is estimated to go at a top speed of 460 km/h (286 mph), with the fast car capable of going from 0-100 km/h in less the 3 seconds. The front headlights of R Zero are made from LED technology and are divided into three separate parts, each made to serve specific purposes. The 5 wide radial wheel discs are basically massive. They have been set in low-profile Michelin tires. The large air cooled disc brakes with red colored brake stirrups can be clearly seen from the spokes of the radial wheel.
