Nikola Preps World’s Most Powerful Electric UTV: 120 kWh, 100 km/h in 3.9 Seconds

The all-electric Nikola Zero will be available in two fairly incredible performance options:

415 HP & 3,675 ft lbs of torque (from $35,000)
555 HP & 4,900 ft lbs of torque
There will be also be three battery options: 75, 100 and a whopping 125 kWh. The largest one should give the Zero the ability to go 321 km in 4×4 off-road mode.

We are not sure what the price will be for the top of the line 555 hp, 125 kWh version, but quite frankly it will be a lot of fun (and one likely would seriously injure or kill oneself driving it before the last payment came due), so who cares about a pesky thing like pricing.

Nikola Powersports said that dealerships can begin reserving production units starting in January of 2018, after the first dealer ride and drive event – planned for this December in St. George, Utah.

Trevor Milton, Nikola's CEO said:

"The Nikola Zero will be the first UTV to come with optional Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS), stability control, anti-roll-over, traction control and torque vectoring. Normally these options are reserved for high-end sports cars and not normally found in UTVs. We have worked hard to make these UTVs street legal, and in many states, you may be able to drive the Nikola Zero UTV to work,"

"Once you test drive the Nikola Zero, you will want to trade in your current UTV. No other competitor UTV can match the Nikola Zero's performance. We are not talking about a few seconds faster than the competition, we are talking about laps faster, with speeds up to 0-100 in 3.9 seconds with four passengers inside,".
