ARC VECTOR
TO MAKE ITS GLOBAL DYNAMIC DEBUT AT GOODWOOD
The £90,000 zero-emission café racer Arc Vector will spin its wheels for the first time in public at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 4-7 July, tearing up the famous hillclimb course alongside storied superbikes and motorsport icons.
Undoubtedly one of the two-
wheel stars of this year's
Festival, the Arc Vector is
being readied for production
next summer and the bike that'll
be seen flat-out on the Duke of
Richmond's driveway is the final
prototype. In addition, Arc Vehicle's
on-site sales boutique will feature
a VR-enabled Vector, and a third
prototype is being hosted for all to
see alongside the Michelin Supercar Paddock.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrates velocity in all its forms, not least when it comes to adrenalin-forged innovation. Designed and built in Britain, the Arc Vector is the world's most advanced electric motorcycle. Nothing short of revolutionary, it features an ingenious battery-module carbon monocoque and, worn by the rider, a connected Heads-Up display helmet and
bespoke jacket with haptic motors that
makes the riding experience safer
and more exhilarating.
As well as demonstrating the
thrust of its 399-volt electric motor
– which provides a power-to-weight
ratio of 650bhp per tonne –
Goodwood House's 1.16-mile course
will highlight the Vector's handling and
manoeuvrability; its unique steeply-
raked hub-centre steering enables fast
changes of direction and stability at
high-speed.
Plot 5, next to the Thakeham Family Area and behind the Startline Grandstand, is where visitors can experience it for themselves, by straddling the Vector and donning Virtual Reality goggles.
