# Orchid-Inspired Hypercars The Dendrobium is Singapore's First Homegrown Hypercar By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-02-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dendrobium-hypercar References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/singapore-dendrobium-hypercar-electric/41979/) & [dendrobiummotors](http://dendrobiummotors.com/) The Dendrobium is a powerful [electric hypercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype) that is named after a Singaporean orchid but is anything but flowery in performance. This hypercar will be fitted with between 900 and 100 Kilowatt-hour batteries, granting it a range of 400 km -- which is roughly the distance you'd cover if you traversed across Singapore eight times and back. The vehicle is set to be able to zoom from zero to 100 km/h in a ridiculous 2.6 seconds on its way to a [top speed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-9-gt) of 100 km/h. Stability control and torque vectoring technologies will ensure that the insane speeds do not send the car toppling over. The Dendrobium hypercar will be offered in an extremely [limited production run](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karma-invictus) of just 10 vehicles, making it one of the most exclusive automotive offerings ever. What's so special about this hypercar is the fact that it is being made by a company that has never built a car before, and has gone for a record-breaking hypercar for its first attempt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Hypercars:** The trend emphasizes the need for powerful performance and sustainability, enabling disruptive innovation in battery technology. - **Limited Production Offerings:** Creating exclusive offerings for a niche market allows for a unique buying experience and added value for consumers. - **First-time Car Makers:** Inexperienced companies developing high-performance vehicles with new design techniques and materials can lead to groundbreaking innovation in the automotive industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The industry can explore the potential of electric power and exclusive limited editions to cater to luxury consumers. - **Battery Technology:** The industry can research and develop new battery solutions to meet the demands of high-performance electric vehicles. - **Composite Materials:** The industry can create innovative material technology to provide a lightweight and durable alternative to traditional metals used in automotive manufacturing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Premium Electric Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphi-a.md) - [Audacious Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-supercars.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md) - [Inaugural Tech Brand Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreame-technology-hypercar.md) - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md) - [Production Electric Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battista.md) - [Electrified Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-hyper-force.md) - [Four-Seat Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemera.md) - [Fully Electric Grand Tourers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-grand-tourer.md)
