Miss R is a prototype from startup XING Mobility. 4 electric motors produce 1 megawatt of power. Its the only electric car with on-track and off-road capabilities. Miss R is more than a supercar, it's a proof of concept for XING's technology. The following is a transcript of the video.

This prototype is quicker than Tesla's quickest car. It's called Miss R by startup XING Mobility. It's a rally-inspired supercar with four electric motors. Together they produce 1 megawatt of power. Which is equivalent to 1,341 horsepower.

It's the first electric car to have on-track and off-road capabilities. Four-wheel drive helps it tackle rough terrain. An advanced suspension system keeps the ride smooth. Miss R only has a top speed of 155 mph. But comes with impressive acceleration. The car is projected to do 0 to 60 in just 1.8 seconds. Which is one-tenth faster than the Tesla Roadster.

XING Mobility is challenging what an electric supercar can be. While Tesla has consistently wowed us with performance Miss R hopes to steal the show. Although it only has an estimated range of 167 miles Miss R's battery can be swapped in just 5 minutes. The Tesla Roadster still boasts a 620-mile range.

Miss R is more than just a supercar. It's an R&D platform. XING sees the supercar as a proof of concept for their technology. They've already integrated their power train technology and battery in city buses construction equipment, and more. XING Mobility plans to start orders for Miss R in fall of 2018.
