Drako Motors is adding a new EV to its burgeoning lineup. Three years after the launch of the all-electric GTE, a limited-edition hypercar that could hit 206 mph, the California-based marque has returned with an all-electric super SUV called the Dragon. Engineered in Silicon Valley and designed in Italy, the sleek bruiser is the marque’s attempt to combine supercar-level power with the utility of a crossover.

The Dragon may be an SUV, but it’s clearly heavily inspired by the company’s experience making the GTE. The EV will be built on the brand’s DriveOS architecture and packs a quad-motor powertrain connected to its in-house battery system, according to a press release. While full specs aren’t available just yet, Drako says drivers will have “2,000 hp on tap,” a genuinely bonkers figure and 800 hp more than its predecessor (and 86 hp more than the Rimac’s awe-inspiring Nevera electric hypercar). That’s a whole lot of grunt, and because of this, the vehicle will be able to rocket from zero to 60 mph in a blistering 1.9 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 9.0 seconds and hit a top speed of over 200 mph.
