Motorcycles ' FST powertrain , which propels it from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds - faster than a Ferrari F50 or a McLaren F1 LM - and produces an impressive 140 ft lb of torque , which is almost twice that of a Ducati Panigale V4R . UMC recently partnered with Exro , a Canadian clean technology company , whose Coil Driver technology boosts the XP ' s power and torque by 25 % and 15 % respectively to an incredible 162 ft lb of torque . " To put that in context , that ' s the same torque as a Lotus Exige S , but in a vehicle that ' s 1,600 lbs lighter ," says Eccles . Inspired by that power , Eccles and his team have been developing a track-inspired version of the XP , dubbed the XR , with fully adjustable handlebars and footpegs , plus aerodynamic louvres , scoops and angled winglets to improve airflow . A limited edition run of XRs is in the pipeline , with each XR built to individual customer ' s specifications . " We are on the cusp of one of the fastest , deepest , most consequential disruptions of transportation in history , driven by new technologies , societal shifts , policy changes and changing modes of ownership . At the turn of the last century , the world was genuinely close to living an electric reality . In 1900 there were twice as many electric cars as gas cars on the road in America , and in 1915 , Ford and Edison were collaborating on plans to manufacture electric automobiles - one of Ford ' s experimental EVs even used a Model T frame . " The interesting thing is that these two realities - gasoline and electric - which diverged a hundred and twenty years ago , are reconverging in this decade . We have a unique opportunity to ' jump ' realities , to reject the polluted future that we ' ve been presented with and , instead , opt for a more optimistic electric alternative ." Eccles has seen the future and judged it to be gooood ! You can see the XP Zero in person at the upcoming ' Electric Revolutionaries ' exhibition at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles from April 9th . www . untitledmotorcycles . com
