The Sandstorm, according to Ararkis Automobili, is the fastest car in the world—but only in virtual space, as it hasn’t yet been made physically. It boasts unheard-of speed while costing $2 million, with an astounding 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) acceleration time of under 1.5 seconds, beating the record held by the Rimac Nevera, which is now at 1.74 seconds.
Nevertheless, the Sandstorm’s top speed of 186 mph (300 kph) is much slower than the Nevera’s remarkable 256 mph (412 kph).
Renderings of the Sandstorm reveal a striking, futuristic design with aggressive styling features such as a large windshield, LED headlights, muscular fenders housing cameras functioning as side mirrors, and an active rear wing reminiscent of the Aston Martin Vulcan. Despite its electric nature, it sports features like what appears to be dual exhaust pipes.
While interior details remain scarce, it’s anticipated to accommodate two or three occupants in magnesium-aluminum alloy seats upholstered in Alcantara, with amenities including a Bose audio system and a surround-view monitor.
Ararkis plans to produce only 20 Sandstorms, each built on a bespoke chassis of carbon fiber and aluminum composite materials, featuring dual high-performance custom EV motors and a single-speed transmission.
The power output remains undisclosed, but it will utilize a lithium-ion battery pack with a 115 kWh capacity, providing a range of 311 miles (500 kilometers) and a rapid 0 to 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes. Based in the UK, Ararkis Automobili aims to debut the Sandstorm in July.
