The Dendrobium D1 Electric Hypercar Will Set You Back £1.2 Million

There's a lot of buzz around electric hypercars these days. That being said, what exactly is a Dendrobium D1? It's an electric hypercar with a price tag of a little over £1 million. Although the D1's technology has yet to be finalized, it has been revealed that the car would have a carbon body with a monocoque, constructed atop two subframes.
On each axle, there will be a couple of engines, as well as a lot of aerodynamics. Since batteries are hefty, the goal weight is 1,750 kg. Dendrobium is aiming for a 0-62 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a peak speed of more than 200 mph.
According to TopGear, Dendrobium CEO Nigel Gordon-Stewart stated, "There’s a dramatic overpricing that’s taking place in a lot of cars. I think it’s good for establishing a premium value, but for me, our price point came in terms of it being as comfortable as it needed to go."
"When I was selling McLaren F1s, it was £540,000 plus tax, so it was a million dollars. I think a million is really where it needs to be," he added.
