Drako Motors is a Californian company that was founded almost a decade ago, but that It hasn’t had much of an impact.. It began by developing its DriveOS four-wheel drive technology and then launched the Drako GTE, a high-performance electric saloon. Now they want to grow as a brand with the presentation of a vehicle that follows the same philosophy, but with a body more appropriate for the times. The Dragon Dragon It is an electric super SUV that stands out for its stratospheric performance.
In its design the most striking are the gull wing doors, of enormous dimensions to give users access to the interior. A concept similar to that seen in the Tesla Model X, although being the only doors it has, since it lacks a B-pillar. It also stands out for its fluid shapes that they seek to improve aerodynamically. The body panels stand out for their lightness, as they have been made with natural fibers and the use of plastics has also been reduced by 70%.
the cabin can accommodate four passengers in complete comfort. In fact, the rear seats are treated with the same “love” as the front thanks to a panoramic roof that lets in a lot of light and some screens located in the headrests of the front seats. Minimalism and digitization are the norm and the only buttons that appear on the Drako Dragon are those on the steering wheel. The 17.1-inch center touch screen It is the powerhouse of infotainment.
As in the GTE, this SUV incorporates the propulsion system formed by four electric motors, mounted one on each wheel. That way you get all-wheel drive with more precise independent control and also incredible power and performance. The Dragon offers 2,000 hp, enough to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in 1.9 seconds, complete the quarter mile in 9 seconds and have a top speed of 322 km/h. To put sanity, it has 420 mm front brakes bitten by 10-piston calipers.
Since it is electric, it is also necessary to talk about its battery. Although they do not give a capacity figure, they do affirm that it is enough to approve a autonomy of up to 676 kilometers. Also that it accepts fast recharges of up to 500 kW to reach 80% in about 10 minutes. In any case, the rest of the data will arrive little by little, since the Drako Dragon will not reach customers until 2026. Despite this, reservations are already being accepted and a starting price of $290,000.
