If you want to purchase a Rivian R1T Truck or R1S SUV, there is currently only one powertrain available: a quad-motor setup with 835 horsepower. The company is working on a dual-motor setup that will arrive next year, and it just shared some new details about it.
“When our Dual-Motor AWD system is introduced for R1T and R1S next year, you’ll be able to choose a standard version capable of 600 hp and 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, or an enhanced version that increases horsepower to approximately 700 hp and 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds,” Rivian said in a Tweet. For comparison, the quad-motor version takes around three seconds to hit 60 mph.
