Very High-Powered Electric Powertrain

Jeep has performed a highly impactful redesign of its all-electric Wrangler Magneto concept.  There is an updated, high-performance powertrain that Jeep calls an "electronic nitrous oxide" launch control system that can rocket the EV from a standstill position to 60 mph in 2 seconds.  It's quite the electrified car. Some automotive experts say it drives more like a high-performance sports car than an off-road vehicle.  It is getting many rave reviews.

Tech Specs

The Magneto 2.0 has an all-electric drivetrain powered by an 800-volt battery pack system. It has a customized axial flux electric motor that can generate 625 hp and 850 foot-pounds of torque, providing it with lots of off-road power.  The vehicle is all-wheel drive and has 6-speed manual transmission. The tires are huge. The 20-inchwheels are surrounded with 40-inches worth of off-road tires.  Jeep has not yet specified range on a charge or the price tag.  But Jeep is promising an all-electric Wrangler in 2024.  For more news like this, go to New Breakthrough Cars, Planes, Bikes, Boats
