Dendrobium Motors Teases Hypercar Ahead Of Geneva Motor Show Debut

Never heard of this company? Yes, you guessed it right, it is yet another car startup coming out with an all-electric hypercar concept since startups like these do not enter the auto biz with conventional powertrains!   

No, it is not a flower, because as soon as you Google it you’ll get tonnes of pictures of flowers. It is actually an upcoming hypercar from a Singapore-based startup, Dendrobium Motors. Just a few years ago, nobody would have guessed that we’ll be seeing plenty of car startups coming out with hellish, over-1000-horsepower electric vehicles so frequently. The automaker will reveal the Dendrobium concept on March 7 at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.     

The Dendrobium concept is the brainchild of Singapore-based Vanda Electrics, a company which is also the maker of an e-scooter, the Motochimp, and a commercial vehicle, the Ant. Dendrobium Motors collaborated with Williams Advanced Engineering for the development of the Dendrobium concept. Williams Advanced Engineering will also assist the automaker in the development of future models. 

Larissa Tan, CEO Vanda Electrics said: “Dendrobium is the first Singaporean hypercar and the culmination of Vanda Electrics’ expertise in design and technology. We are delighted to be working with Williams Advanced Engineering, world-leaders in aerodynamics, composites and electric powertrains and Bridge of Weir Leather Company, makers of the finest, lowest-carbon leather in the world. The Dendrobium is inspired by nature and rooted in technology, a marriage of design and engineering – I can’t wait to reveal the car to the world in March.”

The company highlighted in an official release that the interior of the Dendrobium will feature Scottish leather from Bridge of Weir Leather Company. It claims to have the lowest carbon tannery and leather products in the world. Stay tuned to CarDekho for more updates on the Dendrobium.
