MoCo XR-12 driven by Monica Brisco, hits 282 miles per hour

The Kalistani Motor Company's XR-19 broke the land speed record for electric motors this week in Reynoldia. The concept car was built to demonstrate the mechanical capabilities of the new MoCo EM68 motor. The previous record, produced by the MoCo EV-95 using the EM46 motor, was 233 mph and has held for 29 years. The EM68 powerplant produces right around 2600hp. The XR-19, produced in the Sulari Plant, weighs 960kg (2168lbs), has an aluminum body and a carbon fiber chassis to reduce weight and in ideal conditions, can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. It was driven by Monica Brisco, from Kaliburg.

"We wanted to demonstrate the abilities of our electric motors," said Bradley Mindenhall, one of the lead designers of the XR-19. "MoCo is one of the main automobile manufacturers in Kalistan, and now that our electric generation resources are coming back online, Kalistanis are going to be buying new electric cars. We want to show that MoCo is capable to serve the full range of consumer demands, from the soccer moms and sedan drivers to the folks who demand a little more performance out of their vehicles. MoCo is poised to launch a new line of performance vehicles, and is likely to move into a more dominant position in the Kalistani Market."

While the XR-19 is not for sale to the general public, MoCo is indeed producing a consumer alternative that features the EM68. "Our first design will be a 2 door coupe, which will hit a top speed of 210 mph, will carry a battery bank that will provide 350 miles on a single charge, and will feature a luxury interior. The new EA-250 should hit Kalistani markets in 5516.
