Mullen Automotive announced the debut of the ultra-high-performance Mullen Five RS EV Crossover. The RS will be featured on the upcoming “strikingly different” EV tour in Austin, Texas.

Mullen said the Five RS is an ultra-high-performance EV featuring a top speed of 200 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds. Equipped with 800-volt architecture, all-wheel drive, a two-speed gearbox and over 1,100 horsepower, the vehicle has a performance-oriented suspension and 325/35R21 front and rear size tires.

Due to the high-powered capabilities of the Five RS, consumers can’t be allowed to test drive the vehicle directly, the company says. Instead, Mullen offers consumers the opportunity to ride in the Mullen Five RS alongside a professional race car driver.
