The electric hypercar packs 722bhp and combined with its low weight, it can sprint from 0-100kph in just 2.54 seconds.

The car is so lightweight thanks to the solid-state direct cooling battery cooling solution or DiCo, which eliminates 70 per cent of cooling components that are found in traditional EVs.

The word ‘Ekonk’ is taken from the Indian scriptures, and it signifies the beginning of the divine light.
