Chassis, Powertrain, and Electrical System

What happens here

Don Federico moves on to discuss the vehicle's robust construction and innovative powertrain. He highlights the fully welded cage, emphasizing that safety was a primary goal. He states that the cage is strong enough to meet FIA and SCORE standards, allowing the vehicle to be race-ready without needing aftermarket modifications for safety. He then delves into the powertrain, which is a 2.4-liter turbo 'one-motor hybrid' system from the Toyota Tacoma. This setup provides over 300 horsepower and 450 foot-pounds of torque. The electric motor, positioned between the 8-speed transmission and the engine, offers a 'silent mode' (EV range) for quiet operation, as well as significant power. The battery, over 1.5 kilowatts, is AC-cooled, sealed, and packaged under the spare tire, making it impervious to mud, dust, water, snow, and ice. This allows for power on demand in any condition and can even power a campsite or a refrigerator. Federico underscores that the SCION 01 Concept aims to bring automotive-level horsepower and durability to the side-by-side segment, with maximum power achieved at a low 2400 RPM for quieter operation compared to competitors.
