Specifications

edit

The Freedom Iconic Collection is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 with a similar powertrain setup as a Lamborghini Huracan or Audi R8, with a power output of greater than 750 hp. The car is claimed to go from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of an electronically limited 240 mph. The car will feature a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.[1][2]

Design

edit

The Freedom Iconic Collection, like its electric-powered twin, was designed with the intent to be a luxury hypercar. The hardware for the Freedom will sit in a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque structure, also featuring an F1-style pushrod suspension, with the overall low profile allowing for a low drag coefficient of 0.28 Cd.[citation needed]

Unveiling and production

edit

The Freedom Iconic Collection will first be unveiled at the 2022 Geneva International Motor Show alongside its electric-powered twin, and production will begin after the debut if there is enough demand, building no more than 25 examples each year, each priced at 2.3 million each.[1]
