Toyota's first all-electric 400 hp 'Time Attack' concept hits circuit
Toyota is unveiling its first all-electric battery-electric vehicle (BEV) concept, the bZ Time Attack Concept, at the 2025 SEMA Show. Built on the 26MY AWD bZ platform, this purpose-built race car significantly boosts performance, delivering over 400 horsepower through R&D-tuned electric motors—an increase from the stock 338 hp. Designed for time attack circuits and hill climbs, the concept features motorsports-grade suspension, a chassis lowered by six inches, and a six-inch wider track. Aerodynamic enhancements include a fully integrated aero package with a rear wing, side skirts, front splitter, and rear diffuser, all developed using a hybrid fabrication approach combining laser scanning, CAD, and large-scale 3D printing. The project addressed key challenges for electric race cars, notably battery performance and aerodynamic integration, requiring innovative airflow management and cooling solutions. Safety and competition readiness are ensured with TEIN coilovers, an Alcon braking system adapted from Toyota’s race programs, and

Lamborghini has partnered with German electric personal watercraft maker Cayago to develop the Seabob SE63, a battery-electric jet sled designed for high-speed thrills both on and below the water surface. Unlike previous Lamborghini-endorsed watercraft, the SE63 is not modeled after a specific car but draws design inspiration from Lamborghini supercars like the Revuelto and Temerario, featuring sharp lines, angular vents, and hexagonal lighting. Constructed with ultralight materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium, the SE63 weighs slightly more than its predecessor but maintains excellent handling. Its 6.3 kW (8.4 hp) motor delivers a top speed of 35 km/h (22 mph), surpassing earlier models and matching the burst speeds of certain sharks and dolphins. The SE63 offers enhanced stability through side wings and an optional Performance Board for a prone riding position, complemented by ergonomic grips for agile maneuvers. Its cockpit mimics Lamborghini’s automotive interiors,
