Supercar Blondie Test Drives Tachyon Speed

Eric Rice and his team at RASER have been getting some great press coverage for their Tachyon Speed.  This is a one-of-a-kind super car.  It’s all electric, it’s styled like a fighter jet and it can put out enough peak power to meet the needs of a small city.  Just like any other car, it needs an electrical wiring system to manage all of the functions in the car.  The RAESR team turned to Infinitybox to get the most advanced electrical system on the market to meet their customers’ needs.

The Tachyon Speed caught the eye of Alex Hirschi, aka Supercar Blondie.  Australian-born Alex is a world renown celebrity in the super car space.  She now calls Dubai her home and was recently listed as one of the top 30 most influential women in the Arab World.  Her blogs, videos and TV appearances have been viewed billions of times by aficionados of exotic and super cars.  She is an expert on all automotive thoroughbreds.  Alex made the trip out to LA to meet with the RASER team and test drive the Tachyon Speed.  She ran the car through its paces on the road.  She also had a chance to play with the touch screens and switch interfaces that are controlled by the Infinitybox system in the car.

The Supercar Blondie team posted a video showing Alex meeting with the RAESR team, touring the car and taking it on the road.  Check out the video below.

We congratulate Eric and his team for what they’ve accomplished with the Tachyon Speed.  We are proud to be a part of this car.

We always say that our Infinitybox system gets used in some very unique vehicles.  The new Tachyon Speed is another exceptional example of this.  We were first approached by Eric Rice and his team in early 2015.  Their company is called RAESR, Rice Advanced Engineering Systems and Research.  It is pronounced like “racer”.  Their vision was to create the ultimate electric and hybrid-electric super cars.  Their first model is called the Tachyon Speed and it is a magnificent piece of engineering work.

They chose to use our Infinitybox system to wire the Tachyon Speed because they needed the flexibility and features that no other system could offer.  They used our 20-Circuit Kit as the electrical system foundation in the car.  They added inLINK for security and alarm features.  inMOTION for power window and door actuator control.  inVIRONMENT to control their Gen-IV system from Vintage Air and inTOUCH NET to control the entire car from a smart device or a tablet.
