Toroidion


Toroidion is an aspiring Finnish car manufacturer domiciled in Pohja, Raasepori. In 2015 Toroidion introduced a concept car: the electric supercar 1MW Concept. Toroidion Ltd claimed to have solved core problems that have prevented making electric cars practical, but evidence of this claim has not emerged. A utility model details a central stator divided in multiple sections, each of which is fed three-phase current with a separate frequency converter. This enables a lower voltage at higher power. More elements can be added to the engine in axial direction, so that an engine can have 20 or more frequency converters. Toroidion has claimed that the lower operating voltage makes an electric car safer.
Racing driver Mika Salo joined Toroidion's R&D team in 2016. Toroidion is aiming at participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race within a few years.
