In anticipation of this year's “legendary DAYTONA 500 race,” Chevrolet introduced the new Blazer EV.R NASCAR Prototype. Although it never raced, this forward-thinking concept hints at what electric race cars will become. Here's a look at its most notable attributes.
High-Performance Electric Powertrain
Ditching the classic V8, the Blazer EV.R NASCAR Prototype runs on an all-electric powertrain. Its trio of six-phase motors generates about 1,300 horsepower and spins up to 15,000 rpm.
A programmable all-wheel drive system manages that power, delivering precise torque to each wheel. Set on a modified Next Gen chassis, it also features competition-grade suspension parts and Goodyear Racing Eagle rubber.
True Race Car Styling
Visually, the EV.R borrows its silhouette from the “road-going Chevrolet Blazer SS EV,” but its race-ready enhancements are clear. A broad body and high-mounted rear wing optimize airflow, while the ultra-low stance keeps it glued to the track.
Motorsports Innovation
The EV.R NASCAR Prototype serves as a testbed for cutting-edge racing tech that will eventually filter into future motorsport efforts and customer cars.
