Your move, Cybertruck.
The retractable solar awning would, in theory, free up the EV’s 180kWk battery to power its substantial mill. That’s no small feat. According to the agency, the Thundertruck will feature a dual motor drivetrain that makes 800 hp with 800 ft-lbs of torque. The setup would propel the truck from zero to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, despite its hefty 6,120 pounds. The EV will also have a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and a cargo bed with up to six feet of space.
Aside from its solar super power, the Thundertruck is designed to be a fully fledged all-terrain vehicle. Like the Cybertruck, the body is decidedly geometric, eschewing curves for angular lines. In renders, the EVs exterior is sleek and black, which allows those blue light-emitting headlights to pop. And because this vehicle is made for overlanding, it comes equipped with extendable loading ramps in the rear for two- to four-wheel bikes.
The noir theme continues inside. The studio hasn’t revealed many details about the cabin, but the renders show a monochrome interior with “head up” holographic instrumentation displays that project your speed, temperature and fuel levels onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road—or lack thereof. There’s also a sizable touchscreen to the side of steering wheel, which would likely control the infotainment system.
For those who crave even more power, Wolfgang’s TT Range Extender can be added to your 4×4 model to transform it into a beastly 6×6. The larger model promises an even more robust 560 miles of range, operates on a bigger 210 kWK battery pack and delivers more grunt, too—a whopping 940 hp with 1200 ft lbs of torque. All that with an expanded 10-foot cargo bed.
