A new variant of the Drako GTE is on the cards. Dubbed the Dragon, it promises to boost the performance envelop even further.
The GTE has been around for a couple of years now and is based on the 2012 Fisker Karma. Despite its underpinnings, it has a $1.3 million sticker price. It’s unclear how many examples have been sold but Drako clearly thinks it can make the EV that little more desirable.

The updated Drako Dragon will premiere in January 2022 and like the GTE, it will feature four electric motors. However, power and torque from these motors is tipped to rise significantly, meaning the car will have more than the 1,200 hp that the GTE delivers. Additionally, the 90 kWh battery pack is said to have been upgraded to provide greater range and improved cooling for better on-track performance.
Elsewhere, Drako says that the Dragon will come fitted with new five-way adjustable suspension.
A handful of teaser images have been released of the car. We can see that the initial show car will be finished in blue with white racing stripes but it doesn’t appear as though any significant exterior modifications have been made to the vehicle.
Drako says that the Dragon will offer great performance than the GTE, although it hasn’t yet stated just how quickly it will hit 60 mph (96 km/h) nor has it said if its top speed will be greater than the 206 mph (332 km/h) that’s been claimed for the GTE.
