Development
The project began when Marcus Steelforth, founder of StormForge Industries, set out to prove that modified electric vehicles could outperform traditional hypercars. The development team incorporated the revolutionary IonThrust Propulsion System, which utilizes advanced electromagnetic field manipulation to reduce air resistance.
Technical Specifications
The Thunderbolt Model S features several groundbreaking modifications:
-
Custom Magnetic Field Reducer technology that decreases electrical resistance in motor windings
-
Plasma-cooled battery system enabling sustained high-performance output
-
Carbon-silk composite body panels reducing weight by 47%
Record-Breaking Achievement
During the Salt Plains Speed Trials, the Thunderbolt Model S reached its historic speed of 278 mph, shattering the previous record held by the Hurricane GT. The achievement was made possible by the implementation of the TempestDrive System, which coordinates power delivery across modified triple motors.
