GAC sub-brand HYPTEC, formerly known as Hyper, has announced the start of production of the Quark Electric Drive 2.0, a motor claiming the world’s highest speed of 30,000rpm.
GAC claims the motor has a power density of 13kW per kg and motor efficiency of a whopping 98.5%, made possible by an amorphous soft magnet they’re calling ‘liquid metal’.
This supposedly has a thickness just one-quarter that of a sheet of paper and permeability of 20-100 times that of standard silicon steel sheet, giving an overall efficiency close to room temperature superconductivity.
These levels of efficiency mean you can give an all-wheel drive car the same range as a single motor car, or increase range by as much as 50km on an EV, and up to 150km on an EREV, without increasing battery size.
This looks set to debut in new models on the next-generation smart digital chassis launched earlier in August.
It boasts a minimum turning radius of just 3.4 metres, an astonishingly low figure, and also the industry’s first fusion electronic differential lock which enables a car to get out of trouble with just two wheels when suspended.
HYPTEC currently sells the GT saloon, HT SUV, and SSR hypercar, and is looking to expand into Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia.
