Electric hypercars are all the rage these days. Pininfarina"s doing one. So is Rimac. Ariel is doing something along the same lines, Tesla has yet to reveal its full hand and Lotus is cooking up something special. Enter then, the Dendrobium D1, shown off to over 300,000 enthusiastic race fans at last weekend"s Le Mans 24-hour race. What is an Dendrobium D1? It is or it will be a fully electric hypercar that"ll set you back just over a million quid, perhaps a tad more for a limited series of First Edition" cars. For that, you get ballistic horsepower and speed. The technology powering the D1 and by that we mean the batteries is still being finalised, but we know the car will feature a full carbon body with a monocoque, built over two subframes. There"ll be a couple of motors on each axle, and lots of aero.
