<\/a><\/p>\n\n The new Lamborghini Temerario is a plug-in hybrid using three Yasa motors\u00a0\u2013 two up front, and one at the engine<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Firm plots huge growth as its tech is used in new models from Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Ferrari<\/p>\n
\nBritish electric\u00a0motor maker Yasa expects it will almost double its annual production volumes by 2026, as several major brands launch new performance cars exploiting its technology.<\/p>\n
It said it expects annual production volumes to rise from just under 15,000 currently to around 25,000 in 2026, as its unique motor design underpins an increasing number of new cars from the likes of Lamborghini<\/a> and Mercedes-AMG<\/a>.<\/p>\n
It employs a proprietary axial flux design, dubbed the Yokeless and Segmented Armature (Yasa), that is claimed to be four times more power-dense than the radial flux motors common in today\u2019s mainstream electric and hybrid cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In simple terms, it provides a boost of around 150bhp or more in a package not much larger or heavier than a stack of three or four dinnerplates.<\/p>\n
Its motors have already been used in the\u00a0Ferrars SF90<\/a>,\u00a0Ferrari 296 GTB<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lamborghini Revuelto<\/a>.<\/p>\n
However, it is the upcoming Lamborghini Temerario<\/a> that is expected to comprise the bulk of the brand\u2019s uptick in output, given that it uses three Yasa motors\u00a0and will be produced in large numbers.<\/p>\n
For reference, Lamborghini<\/a> built more than 20,000 examples of the Temerario\u2019s predecessor, the Hur\u00e1can<\/a>, over its decade-long lifespan.<\/p>\n
As previously reported by Autocar, Yasa motors will also\u00a0feature in the new\u00a0super-saloon<\/a> that Mercedes-AMG will unveil\u00a0next month. It will be\u00a0the first model based on the performance brand\u2019s AMG.EA electric car platform.<\/p>\n
Autocar understands it will employ as many as three motors of a new design, each producing 473bhp in a unit weighing 24kg and occupying just five litres\u00a0of space \u2013 roughly half the size and weight of a Tesla Model 3<\/a>\u2019s 241bhp radial flux motor.<\/p>\n
The same motor will also be deployed in the AMG variant of the new Mercedes-Benz CLA saloon<\/a> due next year as well as a\u00a0Porsche Cayenne Electric rival<\/a> due in 2027.<\/p>\n
Senior staff at Yasa remain coy, however, about whether the AMG motors will be assembled solely in Oxfordshire or whether Mercedes will establish its own production line in continental\u00a0Europe.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, the rise in annual output has required an overhaul of the company\u2019s factory, setting up two production lines dedicated to supplying motors according to the needs of Ferrari and Lamborghini.<\/p>\n
Discussing Yasa\u2019s rise from a University of Oxford\u00a0PhD project to a supplier to some of the world\u2019s most prominent supercar manufacturers, founder and technology chief Tim Woolmer told Autocar: \u201cFerrari said to us: \u2018We cannot find a supplier on the planet that can fit a motor in the space [65mm] we have, because the engine crank is very low\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cT<\/span>hey physically couldn’t get the performance they wanted from any other product on the planet. That’s a nice piece of business, if you’re told that, because it means that you’re almost designed into their vehicle for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commercial director Andy North added: \u201cLast year, something like 75% of Ferraris that came out of Maranello had a Yasa motor.”<\/p>\n
Yasa executives\u00a0suggested that the company\u00a0has a similar arrangement with Lamborghini, with its motors being integral to the design of the Revuelto and Temerario.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Woolmer suggested that\u00a0Yasa\u2019s ultimate\u00a0ambition is to become a byword for performance in the same vein as firms such as Brembo. He said: \u201cThey are the go-to people for high-performance brakes.\u00a0There are a few brands like that in automotive, and we want Yasa\u2019s brand to be synonymous with that, but equally with having the volume in the manufacturing to back it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
