Rodin FZERO – From Self-funded Project To Hypercar Rodin was created as the FZERO began to be developed and was initially self-funded, eventually developing into a far steadier organisation by 2016 with a full-time engineering department and future plans.With a desire to create the perfect car for adrenaline junkies, the FZERO begun some impressive testing.Rodin FZERO Hypercar ProductionThe Rodin FZERO hypercar is set to hit production next year all going well, and for those who are capable of affording such a bespoke vehicle, the testing so far is certainly not going to put anyone off.By the way – the FZERO will cost around \u00a31.8 million, a rather eye-watering sum. While that amount rules out most of us, the car remains an intriguing proposition.224mph 700Nm 4-Litre V10 Turbo Rodin RC.TEN Engine  The FZERO will come equipped with a whopping 700Nm of torque and the ability to initially run at 224mph, powered by the Rodin RC.TEN engine, which will arrive in normally aspirated or turbocharged formats. The FZERO will be essentially be powered by a 4-litre hybrid V10 turbo engine.Fortunately for Rodin, the manufacturer has its own test track, and just before Christmas 2023, the 1,103bhp Rodin FZERO completed its first serious run.Dicker has boasted that the FZERO will be the fastest track car on the planet, and so far, he\u2019s not having to eat his words.Rodin has its test track at Mount Lyford on the southernmost island that is part of New Zealand. Apparently, the FZERO test run went \u2018very well\u2019 as the hypercar looks set to give the Aston Martin Valkyrie something to worry about.If anything can stand remotely close to the Valkyrie, then we are sure to see something interesting; the Valkyrie can progress from zero to 62mph in just 2.6 seconds. Meanwhile, the Valkyrie track car, the AMR Pro, has a purported top speed of around 250mph (unrestricted) and a sustained 3.3G in cornering.\u00a0These are some incredible feats of achievement for the Rodin FZERO to even get close to. Is it another pretender to the throne or is David Dicker\u2019s million-plus car going to be worth the hype?One thing the FZERO has going for it is the undeniably strikingly aggressive Batmobile look that the car possesses in profile, and an alien from the rear.Minus F1 restrictions, the FZERO is designed to be without limits and faster than a Formula One racing car.New Rodin F1 Race TeamRodin has had to revise its plans on getting the FZERO released due to paperwork surrounding the team\u2019s merger with the Carlin race team in an attempt to become a new F1 race team.Plans were afoot for a release in 2023, but now look set to happen in 2024. Surprisingly, Rodin will also be lining up a road legal all-electric FZERO once the initial 30 track cars have been manufactured, and while the track car and its battle of egos with the Valkyrie are interesting, I can\u2019t help thinking that the Rodin FZERO EV will be even more so.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Supercars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Rodin FZERO – The Fastest Track Car On Earth","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/supercars\/rodin-fzero-the-fastest-track-car-on-earth\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
