Rodin FZero, with 1,500bhp and a V10 engine, outpaces an F1 RB20 by 7 seconds at Albert Park in simulations—an ultra-lightweight track machine.
The Rodin FZero isn’t your average track car—it’s a groundbreaking machine that has been shown to beat an RB20 Formula 1 car by an astonishing seven seconds per lap around Albert Park in simulations. With 1,500 horsepower and a weight comparable to modern F1 cars, this hypercar is setting new performance benchmarks. According to Rodin Cars’ founder, David Dicker, these results come from advanced simulation software used by their race team in the UK.
Unlike any typical sports car, the FZero’s design borders on the level of a low-altitude spacecraft. Powered by a V10 engine, twin turbochargers, and cutting-edge aerodynamics, the FZero generates extraordinary downforce to grip the track like few other vehicles can. It’s also targeting a weight of just 698kg—considerably lighter than today’s F1 cars, further amplifying its incredible performance potential.
While Dicker himself admits that comparing the FZero to an F1 car isn’t entirely fair—given the limitations faced by modern F1 machines—the FZero’s design is focused on pushing boundaries and proving that alternative, more extreme possibilities exist for track cars. With its single-seat setup and track-focused engineering, the FZero offers a thrilling glimpse into the future of ultra-performance driving.
