Only now it&#8217;s been redesigned for the track, featuring a single-seat cockpit design.<\/p>\n<p>Power comes from an advanced micro-turbine hybrid setup similar to what Jaguar tried with the C-X75 concept, however Techrules thinks it can actually make a go of it.<\/p>\n<p>The experimental powertrain mates a pair of electric motors at the front and another four at the rear, with a small diesel turbine engine serving as a range-extender. With a 28.4-kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack, the Chinese startup says the Ren RS will produce as much as 1,287 horsepower (equivalent to 1,305 ps or 960 kW) and 1,725 lb-ft (2,340 Nm) of torque.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s said to be enough to send the hybrid racer to 62 mph (100 km\/h) in just three seconds, en route to a top speed of 330 km\/h (205 mph). A tank filled with 80 liters (21 gallons) of diesel fuel will give it a range of 1,170 kilometers (or 727 miles).<\/p>\n<p>A (relatively) lower-end version will also be offered with four electric motors instead of six, delivering 858 hp (640 kW\/870 ps) and 1,150 lb-ft (1,560 Nm) of torque.<\/p>\n<p>Those are some impressive figures, and Techrules says it&#8217;s in the process of forging industry alliances to extend its powertrain tech to other applications. Among them is a Memorandum of Understanding with CRRC to develop a similarly powered autonomous rapid transit train system. For now, though, we&#8217;ll look forward to seeing the new Ren RS on the floor of the Geneva Palexpo this week.<\/p>\n<p><em>Live images from the Geneva Motor Show added to the
