TECHRULES REN AT THE 87TH GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW

Techrules is debuting the final production design of its first series hybrid supercar at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. ‘Ren’ is the first production vehicle from the China-based automotive research and development company, and features its proprietary Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) technology.

The aerospace-inspired design is optimised for aerodynamic efficiency, with a striking modular three-cockpit design.

The performance-focused modular layout that allows the car to be configured with one, two or three polycarbonatecanopies: one for track use by only the driver, two for the ‘Le Mans’ configuration with a single passenger, or three to accommodate the driver and two passengers.
