Aerodynamic electric hypercar is packing some serious horsepower

As the automotive world gathered at the 2024 Beijing International Auto Show, a star was born. 

MG unveiled the EXE181 concept, an electric hypercar that had everyone in awe over its aerodynamics.

With a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.181, it’s poised to set records if it hits production.

It is equipped with a power train that likely produces over 1,000 horsepower, which can help it reach a projected top speed of 257.87 mph. This substantial amount of power contributes to the vehicle’s impressive acceleration, allowing it to spring from 0 to 62 mph in just 1.9 seconds.

A nod to history

The EXE181 isn’t just a number; it’s a tribute to MG’s storied past. The original EX181 was the chariot that carried Stirling Moss to a world land-speed record in 1957. Fast-forward to today, and MG’s concept car could eclipse the Volkswagen XL1’s record Cd of 0.189 — the best ever for a production car.

Why aerodynamics matter

The less drag a car has, the less energy it needs to move. That’s why the EXE181’s potential as the most aerodynamic production vehicle is such a big deal. It’s not just about beating the likes of McLaren Speedtail or Mercedes-AMG ONE; it’s about leading the charge in energy-wise automotive design.
