Toroidion
1MW Concept

Why it matters

The 1MW was Finland's attempt at an electric hypercar: a street-legal, four-motor prototype claimed to deliver one megawatt, the same output quoted for the Koenigsegg One:1. It was conceived as the basis for an electric Le Mans racer and a small production run, and its story – from a Monaco debut to a bankruptcy auction – is a notable episode in Finnish car design.

History

Toroidion Oy, a company from Raasepori led by Finnish car designer Pasi Pennanen, revealed the 1MW Concept at the Top Marques show in Monaco in April 2015, initially showing only the exterior. In September 2015 the car was presented to the Finnish press and driven a few laps of a test track at gentle speed for filming; by then it had covered under 100 km. The company spoke of first customer deliveries in 2017 and a racing version for Le Mans.

No production followed. In 2022 Toroidion Oy filed for bankruptcy and the car was offered at a bankruptcy auction as a largely motorless shell with some electronics and batteries, the estate giving no guarantee for the batteries.
