NASCAR has unveiled an electric crossover prototype that was made in collaboration with ABB as well as Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota.

Despite unveiling a new EV, NASCAR said they’re “committed to the historic role of the combustion engine in racing.”

NASCAR and ABB have unveiled an electric prototype that hints at the future of motorsport. The duo also announced an “electrification innovation partnership” that will aid in NASCAR’s mission to “contribute to a healthier planet.”

Starting with the prototype, it was developed in collaboration with Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota. The resulting model has a 78 kWh battery pack that feeds a tri-motor powertrain producing up to 1,341 hp (1,000 kW / 1,360 PS). Two of the motors reside out back and all three are STARD UHP 6-Phase units, which recently powered the Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck to victory at Pikes Peak.
