The all-new Ursula E2 is now officially announced in this show on Tokyo. It serves as the replacement of the E1 supercar, which was launched as a limited run of 400 units from 2010 to 2015. Like the E1, it was built from the ground up with no relations to any Ursula model.

The E1’s turbo boxer-6 engine is now officially replaced by a biofuel-powered 3.6 V8 twin-turbo producing 655 hp. Despite the larger size, it’s more lighter with the extensive use of high-tech materials and production process. Each engine was handbuilt by master craftsmen to ensure the quality and consistency of the vehicle.
Whilst the new power unit has a small power deficit that led to a much modest 655 HP, compared to the boxer-6’s much impressive 755 HP, the car is still no slouch either. With a lighter carbon fiber shell and wheels, more aerodynamic design, and the use of electric motors made it a better performer compared to the E1. A higher top speed, much quicker 0-60 times and a more agile driving experience is the result of this improvement.

The E2 is also equipped with the advanced eDrive direct-drive transmission. Unlike conventional transmission units, it employs a direct drive mechanism to power the electric motors around all 4 wheels, creating an unique setup which works on any situations. At lower speeds, the electric motors does it’s job, but in speeds above 60 km/h the V8 will take over the job to help the vehicle gain faster top speeds.
Despite the advanced setup, the E2 is 20% lighter than the E1, and with the new technology and smart placement the E2 allows for a much lower center in gravity, improving vehicle handling in the process.

Luxury is always a feature on all Ursulas, and this is no execption. The interior is created for the driver in mind, with lighter and more premium materials, more comfortable seats, AMD Ryzen-powered Ursula Command Center, and a specially designed high-end sound system by Sennheiser creates an unique experience to the drive itself. It’s a light car, but it’s not light on features.
