Race Motors X1G Evolution

The **Race Motors G20** was a supercar manufactured by Race Motors from January 2022 to July 2023. The car was the product of the 3 year hiatus of Race Motors, and is built on a completely new chassis, and designed for luxury cruising, with some racing compatibility - the original philosophy of the Race Motors G10, the G20's predecessor. Being part of the storied G Family, the car currently serves as the flagship of Race Motors.

The base G20 starts at $133,250, being classified as a budget supercar compared to modern day vehicles. The car originally had a production plan of 500 cars, but allocation were exceeded, and instead the car has sold more than any other Race Motors vehicle, in exception to the Race Motors M55. The production has ultimately ended and resulted with 3647 G20s.

The car has had multiple variants, due to its modularity, such as the highly successful Race Motors G20 TD1, and the furthermore aerodynamic Race Motors G20 Track Edition. Along with the different variants, the G20 also had a 5th Anniversary trim that was available from January 7th, 2022.

## Design and Development

The G20 was secretly developed since 2018, and was revealed in 2022, as part of the 2022 Göteborg Worldwide Autoshow. The car is heavily based on the Race Motors X1G Evolution, and utilizes the "Aeroedge" design since the end of the hiatus. Designed with streamlining in mind, the car replaces mirrors with cameras integrated in fins, removal of doors, the integration of the vanity plates, and a unibody based panel design. Also included is a dynamically rotating wing, that can increase angle for more downforce, and decrease for less drag.

Utilizing a second generation Flat-6 Hybrid powertrain, it is a road development of the powertrain used in the Race Motors M55 TD1. Being dubbed the F62HS, standing for Flat-6, Generation 2, Hybrid Street - the car has around 550 horsepower on tap, along with up to 100 HP by the Nitrium Z Motors electric motors.

The car's performance is claimed at "36 BPS in 2.20s in ideal conditions", and a top speed up to 142 BPS. The car also features an E-Drive mode, being able to run its rear electric motor, reaching 36 BPS in around 5 seconds, and a top speed limited at 52 BPS. In Full Performance mode, the 2 electric motors run alongside the engine itself to the claimed 36 BPS figure in around 2.20 seconds.

After an OTA update, the car was also given Drag Mode from the G20 Track Edition, where the car stances, and uses 4WD to launch itself to 36 BPS in an estimated 1.70s on a drag strip, still on road tyres.

Each costed around $687,500, the highest of any Race Motors vehicle at the time.

## Reviews

Shortly after its reveal, the G20 was shipped to multiple trusted reviewers, and they strongly praised its performance. “A lone car in its performance region of 2022, the G20 is designed to be the car to get for everyday driving, or even some lap attacking at the local track day. With a whole new design philosophy, it can now corner exceptionally and can reach a super high speed that is claimed to exceed 140 BPS. Overall we think this is the worthy successor to the storied Race Motors G10, even if its been over 5 years later.”
