[Video] Watch an Electric BMW X6 Make a Tank Turn

When it was launched, the Rivian R1T truck had specs that shocked the world. It was capable of doing a tank turn which no other car in the world had at that time. Now a challenger has popped up in Slovenia, from a company called Elaphne Propulsion, using a BMW X6. Their products allow any car to be transformed into a tank of sorts, thanks to the electric motors located inside the wheels.

Four Elaphe L1500 gearless electric motors were mounted on each wheel, giving this first-generation BMW X6 a completely different setup that allowed it to spin just like a tank would, by controlling the way each wheel moves, independently. The four electric motors can also the 5,300 lbs (2.4 tons) car up 62 mph from standstill in less than 4.9 seconds. According to them, this setup offers the car 590 HP and 4,425 lb-ft (6,000 Nm) of torque.

This car shown below is a demo car and cannot be bought currently.
