It's only been a week since Tesla unveiled its 2020 Roadster that boasted of sprinting from 0-100kmph in 1.9 seconds, an ahead of the curve record that shattered all previous ones like they never mattered. We hadn't even shaken that feeling of euphoria off before a Taiwanese start-up Xing Mobility came in and rained on Tesla's parade by positioning itself as their contender in the 0-100kmph performance sphere. Oriental, and exotic by birth, Xing's cheeky little Miss R is the next sensation in the motoring world and we'll tell you why.

Miss R, a rally inspired vehicle, is merely in its concept stage and it's coming from a company that is taking its first steps in the automobile industry. But the very ambitious brand is already claiming that their newest invention can do 0-100kmph in 2.0 seconds.

Yes we know it's 0.1 second more than the Tesla's base Roadster and Musk has already teased of packs that may lower 0-100kmph reach duration even further through "special packs" and "rocket tech" applications to the higher end models of the Roadster, but Miss R is something they should look out for simply because they too would want to exceed expectations and claims. That's how competition works.

2.0 seconds may look like a travesty in front of the Roadster's breakthrough 1.9 but its worth mentioning that there are still no other vehicles that have managed to attain this kind of performance. That makes Miss R the second fastest electric car in the world by acceleration.

Yes, the Miss R is all electric car and its makers have done a fantastic job with the powertrain of the vehicle in order to reach their claim. Xing has chosen to install four individual motors at each wheel, with the capability of producing a 1340hp together!

The only shortcoming of the vehicle is its limited range of about 250km, exactly one fourth of the Roadster, making the Roadster an all round performance car that can't be challenged as easily as one would wish, but we're pretty sure Miss R wouldn't have missed Musk's notice, especially because Xing has been loud about their swanky Magnetorheological Active Damping system that is found in premium performance vehicles like Lamborghini. The system allows the driver to adjust the suspension for better handling while driving. Even the state-of-the-art modular battery that can be liquid cooled is an attractive feature.

There is no intelligence on the cost of the hypercar, nor any information on whether it would be street legal and when it would be out for production, if it does. But it's a brilliant example for automobile posterity, makers are you reading?
