Good news in case you missed the Koenigsegg One:1: Slovenian company Tushek has opened the order books for the TS900 Apex. This hybrid hypercar has the same power-to-weight ratio of 1 to 1 and an equally well-known name. However?
Kidding: Tushek was founded in 2008 by Slovenian racing driver Aljoša Tushek, and the TS900 was originally presented in 2019. It then had a 4.2-liter V8 and two electric motors, good for about 850 hp to four wheels. The space frame and carbon fiber body ensured a low weight of 1,410 kilograms. No, not quite 1 on 1, indeed. But now Tushek has big news.
More power for the Tushek TS900 Apex
The renewed Tushek TS900 Apex will debut next week at Salon Privé in London. Tushek says he now produces “more than 1,350 horsepower” and weighs “less than 1,350 pounds.” That should be enough for… whatever.
The claim is that this is the lightest hypercar on the market. According to Tushek, he uses a “patented electric propulsion system” with “the highest power density in the world” thanks to “aviation-derived electric propulsion technologies, combined with a high-performance ICU.” What does that mean? We’ll judge that when we get behind the wheel.
Only 36 copies of the Tushek TS900 Apex will be made, for the price of 1.5 million euros each. And apparently there will also be a so-called TS900 RacerPro, a purely track-oriented version of which twelve are being built. The power-to-weight ratio of that version would be 1.13 to 1…
