2018 Rivian R1T Concept

The electric pickup truck scene is about to heat up, as new comer Rivian shows off their impressively thought out R1T. Storage, storage and more storage seems to be the theme with the R1T concept, as Rivian have fitted storage compartments to just about every area of the car. The main storage compartment garnering attention is the gear tunnel, a space that sits between the rear seats and rear wheels allowing gear to be stored and easily taken out on both sides of the car.

The powertrain of the R1T is impressive on paper with 4 electric motors (one for each wheel) combining for a total system output of 764 hp and 900 lb-ft of torque. This should equate to a 0-60 mph sprint of 3 seconds, a very good time considering the hefty 6,800 lbs of weight to move. Three battery sizes will be available in the eventual production model, 105, 135 and 180 kWh packs enabling 230, 314 and 400 miles of range respectively.
