The Dendrobium is a powerful electric hypercar that is named after a Singaporean orchid but is anything but flowery in performance.
This hypercar will be fitted with between 900 and 100 Kilowatt-hour batteries, granting it a range of 400 km -- which is roughly the distance you'd cover if you traversed across Singapore eight times and back. The vehicle is set to be able to zoom from zero to 100 km/h in a ridiculous 2.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 100 km/h. Stability control and torque vectoring technologies will ensure that the insane speeds do not send the car toppling over.
The Dendrobium hypercar will be offered in an extremely limited production run of just 10 vehicles, making it one of the most exclusive automotive offerings ever. What's so special about this hypercar is the fact that it is being made by a company that has never built a car before, and has gone for a record-breaking hypercar for its first attempt.
