Lordstown Motors has come up with two production candidates for its upcoming all-electric pickup truck, the Endurance. A total of 57 such vehicles will be made for crash tests and feedback gathering.
Specifically, the young automaker intends to send pre-production cars to select interested buyers for a test drive. The final production model might get modifications based on the feedback.
The company hopes to be able to start production in September, but to us, the cars appear far from finished. Both strongly resemble their initial concept version, in spite of Lordstown’s earlier claims that they would be drastically different.
Prices are expected to lie in the general vicinity of U.S. $52,500 for a quad-motor truck rated at 600 PS (592 hp / 441 kW). A 109-kWh traction battery should grant it 400 kilometers (248 miles) of range and a sprint from zero to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5.5 seconds.
