Powertrain Analysis

The SSC SC01 uses two permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors in an all-wheel-drive configuration. Combined system output is 429 HP, equivalent to 320 kW, with a peak system torque figure of 560 Nm. The electric powertrain produces a calculated curb-weight-to-power ratio of 3.18 kg per horsepower.

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h requires 2.9 seconds, and maximum speed is electronically limited to 200 km/h. Energy storage is provided by an approximately 60 kWh NMC lithium-ion battery pack. The pack supports a 30% to 80% DC charging interval in under 25 minutes.

The CLTC-rated driving range reaches up to 520 km, or approximately 323 miles. Battery placement directly behind the passenger compartment centralizes mass within the vehicle structure rather than positioning the pack across the full floor area.

Chassis and Dynamics

The SC01 uses a tubular space-frame chassis constructed from 4130 chrome-molybdenum steel. This chassis architecture supports a curb weight of 1,365 kg, equivalent to 3,009 lb, for the complete dual-motor all-wheel-drive vehicle.

Suspension geometry uses a race-derived horizontal pushrod layout. The shock absorbers provide separate adjustment for compression damping and rebound damping, allowing chassis tuning for different road and track surface conditions.

Braking hardware consists of 350 mm brake discs at both axles. The front axle uses six-piston calipers, while the rear axle uses four-piston calipers. The braking package is paired with 18-inch wheels fitted with performance-oriented tires.

Dimensions and Practicality

The body configuration is a two-door coupe with an enclosed passenger cell. The battery pack occupies the area behind that cell, concentrating the approximately 60 kWh NMC pack within the central-rear portion of the vehicle architecture.

The instrument layout uses one high-definition LCD screen positioned directly behind the flat-bottom steering wheel. Steering-wheel-mounted physical controls manage turn indicators, wipers, media functions, and display navigation without a center-mounted touchscreen interface.
