Swedish company Koenigsegg has developed an electric motor and an electric vehicle drive unit that it hopes will be used in a number of third-party applications including the marine and aviation industries as well as its own cars. The electric motor, named the ‘Quark’, is made out of 300M steel and produces the equivalent of 335bhp and 442lb ft. Koenigsegg claims the 28.5kg motor has the best power-to-weight ratio in the industry.
