- Yasa's axial flux electric motor sets a new unofficial power density record with 59 kW/kg.
- The motor weighs 28 lbs (12.7 kg) and delivers 750 kW (1,005 hp) peak power.
- It outperforms the previous record holder by 40% and is more powerful than two Tesla Model 3 Performance EVs combined.
- Continuous power output ranges between 350-400 kW (469-536 hp).
- The motor is scalable, uses no exotic materials, and is ready for mass production.
- Yasa's technology offers three times the performance density of leading radial flux motors.
- Lightweight design can lead to significant range gains in EVs by reducing battery size and charging time.
- Currently used in high-end cars like Lamborghini Temerarior and Ferrari 296 GTB, with potential for broader EV adoption.
