The Kepler Motion (stylized as MOTION) is a sports car manufactured by Kepler Motors.
The Kepler Motion has a 550 hp (410 kW) V6 engine driving the rear side and two electric motors (combined 250 hp; 190 kW) driving the front. The motion can drive up to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h).[1][2][3][4][5] The monocoque body and chassis is made from carbon fiber composites and features continuous carbon ceramic brake rotors, active suspension and active aerodynamics.[6] It has a 7-speed paddle shift, dual clutch transmission. The wheels are four-piece carbon fiber and aluminum – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear.[7]
The engine is based on the 3.5 liter Ford EcoBoost engine and produces 575 ft⋅lb (780 N⋅m) of torque.[8] The V6 engine powers the rear wheels only and the front wheels are powered by the electric motors only.[9]
The principal source of capital for producing the car was Jonathan Lim, founder of the Romar Group in Singapore.[10]
