Based on their power, ALIENO ARCANUM THF is available in the following 4 versions, which are also applicable for all other ALIENO models: RP5 with power of 5221 hp, RP4 with power of 4351 hp, RP3 with power of 3481 hp and RP2 with power of 2610 hp. Where RP stands for “Raw Power”, while the corresponding number after it (5, 4, 3, 2) shows the approximate power of the version in thousands of horsepower.

Acceleration times and other dynamic characteristics will be announced additionally.

According to its purpose, each of the versions is available in 3 basic modifications: STR (Street), TRC (Track) and RCE (Race), whose basic dynamic characteristics are the same, but only differ by standards/homologations they meet.

The STR (Street) modification, is a street-legal car (a car approved for use on public roads) with global homologation.

The TRC (Track) modification is a track day car (car intended for use on a track) and does not fall under any restrictions, which are normally required by any homologations.

The RCE (Race) modification is a race car optimized to cover the requirements of specific race championships, while ALIENO is even prepared to modify the car to meet the requirements needed for the heir of LMP1 category of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and FIA World Endurance Championship, immediately after the rules of the championship allow participation in it of an all-electric hypercars, powered by batteries, what ALIENO hypercars are.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has an innovative ALIENO chassis, built entirely from pre-preg carbon-fiber, kevlar/aramid and aluminum honeycomb core and consists of monocoque, front and rear subframes. The bottom is further reinforced with pre-preg carbon-kevlar. There are structural reinforcements and crumple/deformation zones from pre-preg carbon-kevlar for front, rear, side, upper and lower impacts, as well as front and rear pre-preg carbon-kevlar crash structures. In addition to its low weight, safety and strength, the chassis also features maximum torsional rigidity and allows the construction of a lightweight and aerodynamic shape of the exterior.

All core nodes (elements) of the car are robotic and are regulated electronically.

The exterior is built completely from ALIENO robotic pre-preg carbon-kevlar panels.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has two ALIENO robotic pre-preg carbon-kevlar Butterfly wing doors, ALIENO robotic intelligent air conditioning system, ALIENO aerodynamic side digital mirrors, ALIENO front and rear adaptive matrix LED lights and ALIENO robotic pre-preg carbon-kevlar wheels.

It is equipped with ALIENO pre-preg carbon-kevlar, fully air-conditioned, fully electrically-adjustable and with memory robotic sports and racing seats with memory foam, leather and Alcantara. It also has an ALIENO quick release, pre-preg carbon-kevlar racing type steering wheel with fully electrically-adjustable memory robotic steering column and robotic pedal box, as well as ALIENO robotic power steering with variable ratio, speed sensitive and mode selectable.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF can be equipped with few different versions of the interior, details of which will be further revealed. Among them, there are futuristic designs, as well as more moderate and classic designs, which will be available for all other models of ALIENO. The goal is to provide optimal choice for each customer, as when it comes to the interior space of the car, where the ALIENO customer will spend most of his time, he is not restricted with only one interior, that he may not like, but has the option to choose from few different ones, according to his own personal preferences. The interior is made from ALIENO pre-preg carbon-kevlar details, leather and Alcantara.

The technologies from ARCANUM THF are available for all other ALIENO models, all of which have unique and different exterior design, with which ALIENO aims to cover all major design styles, rather than being limited to one of them. The goal here again is to cover all preferences of the customers, rather than be limited to only one exterior design, which is not suitable for the taste of everyone.

Apart from the choice of version, modification and interior, ALIENO ARCANUM THF can be ordered with customer selectable battery, wheels, tires, steering wheel, seats and even rear wing, amongst different options offered by ALIENO. The ARCANUM THF model, like all other ALIENO models, has entirely modular architecture and allows unrestricted further modification, and of course, future upgrades with the latest technologies.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has innovative ALIENO active, robotic and adaptive aerodynamics, with a lot of active robotic elements, flaps and mechanisms, part of which are visible in the exterior design, while others are inside of the car. This innovative technology, allows for an improved movement and channeling of the airflow around the car, with main purpose of increasing the stability and the drag of the car to the road. Of course, depending on the need, this drag can be easily and precisely adjusted, for achieving higher speed.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF is driven by an innovative ALIENO direct drive electric powertrain, realized with from 3 (in the RP2 version) up to 6 (in the RP5 version) electric motors per wheel. Total of 12 (in the RP2 version) up to 24 electric motors (in the RP5 version). The electric motors are connected with a common connecting axis, to transfer the power to the according wheel through a half-shaft.

Instead of one big electric motor, several smaller ones are used, that are individually controlled (each from its own motor controller) according to the needs, which significantly increases the possibilities and efficiency of the car in all its modes and speeds and the efficiency reaches up to 97%.

The electric motors in use are type AC three-phase axial flux electric motors with powerful permanent magnets, that provide the current technological maximum as power and torque per unit weight and volume, since they combine very high power with very high torque of the electric motor in very low own weight and low volume of the electric motor. They have almost unlimited life span and maximum torque from 0 all the way to their maximum rpm.

The powertrain has 3 different main drive modes (Street, Track and Race), which are activated depending on the desired use of the car and the desired dynamic characteristics preferred by the driver. In any of these modes, through adjustments of the load on the respective front and rear electric motors (the electric motors connected to the front wheels and the electric motors connected to the rear wheels), there is the possibility to precisely change the distribution of power between the front wheels and the rear wheels from 0% to 100% and from 100% to 0% respectively. In any of these combinations, the control system has the possibility to provide energy efficient drive of the car.

Apart from that, innovative ALIENO real-time system for vector control of the torque of each wheel separately (called ALIENO all-wheel real-time torque vectoring system) has been implemented in the control system, thanks to the individual and direct drive through electric motors of each wheel (from 3 to 6 electric motors per wheel) and the lack of mechanical reducers containing heavy and bulky mechanical parts with friction parts.

Given the ALIENO direct drive, the torque of the powertrain and the wheels is identical and is 8880 Nm in the RP5 version, 7400 Nm in the RP4 version, 5920 Nm in the RP3 version, and 4440 Nm in the RP2 version, and is practically available from 0 to the maximum rpm of the electric motors, i.e. at any speed of the car.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF is powered by an innovative ALIENO battery, composed of Graphene LiPo cells and Supercapacitors.

Graphene LiPo cells are built through nanotechnologies forming graphene (a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice). In comparison with the standard LiPo cells, the Graphene LiPo cells are capable of maintaining greater power output, have a higher energy density, lower internal resistance, higher discharge and charge rates, longer life span, and they stay way cooler and stable under full load and peak operating modes.

The supercapacitors, accumulate energy from the electric motors when the car is braking and they give it back to the powertrain when needed, mainly in the peak dynamic modes – when starting, accelerating and braking the car.

The battery is available in the following 3 variants: SBP (Street Battery Pack), with a capacity of 180 kWh, TBP (Track Battery Pack) with a capacity of 120 kWh and RBP (Race Battery Pack) with capacity of 60 kWh. They cover all practical needs: the SBP battery provides a long mileage, reaching up to 1020 km on a single charge, the TBP battery provides enough mileage of several laps on a track, while the RBP battery provides the lowest weight and respectively maximum dynamic characteristics of the car during races.

At maximum load in mode Race, on a single charge, depending on the battery with which it is equipped (variant RBP, TBP or SBP), its version and modification, ARCANUM THF can complete from 1 to 3 full laps on the track Nürburgring (on which the race 24 Hours Nürburgring takes place) and from 2 to 6 full laps on the track Circuit de la Sarthe (on which the race 24 Hours of Le Mans takes place).

The maximum voltage of the battery is 800V, as it is designed to provide huge power, where in the SBP variant it can reach up to 11.7 MW continuous power and 23.4 MW peak power.

Furthermore, the battery is capable of absorbing huge power during charging and regenerative braking, reaching up to 2.7 MW in the SBP variant.

The battery consists of few ALIENO Plug & Play interchangeable modules, as the car automatically adjusts its parameters according to the number and the status of the installed modules. It is possible to install different number of modules, with the idea of providing different capacities between the three base variants of the battery. In this case, according to the desired number of battery modules, “the alien” guides the user, where exactly he should place the modules, in order to achieve maximum stability and lowest center of gravity of the car, and of course achieving optimal weight distribution between the front and rear axles.

The minimum capacity of the battery that needs to be available to reach the maximum power of the car is 30 kWh for the RP5 version, 25 kWh for the RP4 version, 20 kWh for the RP3 version and 15 kWh for the RP2 version, which provides opportunity for significant optimization of the weight and the dynamic characteristics of the car on a track during track days and races (by installing just the number of battery modules required for the particular purpose).

The ALIENO Plug & Play interchangeable modules, also provide an option for easy replacement and upgrade of the battery with a new one. They have multiple built-in safety and security systems.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has several different options for charging of the battery, including a wireless inductive, 3-phase 22 kW on-board and 350 kW DC Combo (CCS). Optionally available is also 400 kW DC CHAdeMO.

With a 350 kW DC Combo (CCS) charging station, from 0 to 100% SoC (State of charge), the SBP battery is charged for 30 min, the TBP battery for 20 min, and the RBP battery for 10 min.

Furthermore, the battery is designed in such a way, that with a special ALIENO DC charging station (900 kW DC for the RBP battery, 1800 kW DC for the TBP battery and 2700 kW DC for the SBP battery), designed and built by ALIENO upon customer order, it can be charged from 0 to 100% SoC for 4 min, and from 0 to 80% SoC for 3.2 min.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has overall length of 5240 mm, overall width of 2180 mm (without and with the ALIENO aerodynamic side digital mirrors) and wheelbase of 3100 mm.

The height of the car, depending on the setting of the ground clearance, varies from 1170 mm to 1200 mm in Race mode, from 1190 mm to 1230 mm in Track mode and from 1220 mm to 1270 mm in Street mode.

The ground clearance of the car, is fully electrically-adjustable, as on the front and on the center of the car can be adjusted from 60 mm to 90 mm in Race mode, from 80 mm to 120 mm in Track mode and from 110 mm to 160 mm in Street mode, while at the rear it is with 40 mm larger.

The weight of the car, varies depending on its version and modification, starting from 1620 kg. For all versions and modifications, a power-to-weight ratio of more than 1 hp/kg is achieved, ranging from 1.04 hp/kg to 2.64 hp/kg, depending on the version and modification of the car.

In addition to a total of 8 airbags (4 for the driver and 4 for the passenger) and 2 racing 6-point seatbelts / harnesses (one for the driver and one for the passenger), ALIENO ARCANUM THF also has numerous innovative ALIENO structural, dynamic and active intelligent safety systems.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF possesses multiple innovative ALIENO ADAS systems (Advanced driver-assistance systems), the main one of which is called ALIENO Artificial Intelligence (AAI) or “The Alien” (TA). In reality the car is an “alien” (“alien robot”, “intelligent robot on wheels”), who assists the driver, prevents him from making mistakes and teaches him how to improve his driving skills, habits and style, with the sole purpose of being able to explore and use the full potential of the car.

ARCANUM THF has a number of specialized sensors and performs continuous real-time diagnostic and exploration, not only of the external environment that surrounds it and the interior environment of the car, but also of all its systems, making its own self-diagnostic, in order to predict damages and dangerous situations, and dealing with emergency cases.

The ADAS systems of ARCANUM THF gather information from multiple sensors, which the car is equipped with, including 17 cameras, 1 LiDAR, 8 radars, 1 GPS sensor, 1 IMU sensor and a large number of other sensors.

ARCANUM THF has an ALIENO front stereo vision, consisting of a module with a 2 cameras and an 1 LiDAR, mounted from the inside behind the upper central part of the windshield. It has also an ALIENO rear stereo vision, consisting of 2 cameras, mounted at the top of the rear third stop-brake light of the car.

The vision of the car in all directions is complimented by ALIENO aerodynamic left and right side digital mirrors, each of which instead of a standard mirror is equipped with 5 cameras combined in aerodynamic detail. They are used also for a keyless access, through facial, iris and retina recognition, speech and fingerprint recognition, and allowing different levels of security to be set.

In addition, there are cameras and other sensors, which monitor the environment in the interior, the condition and the emotions of the driver and the passenger. They are used also for keyless starting of the car and diagnosing the state of both the driver and passenger.

ARCANUM THF has front and rear innovative ALIENO robotic suspension with double wishbone with push-rod and rocker arm architecture, along with adjustable anti-roll bar. Electronically adjustable dampers and active ride-height, fully independent per wheel. With memory, factory modes and custom user modes.

Optionally, there is also a pneumatic quick-lift system with 4 air-jacks for easy pit-service operations during racetrack on circuits.

ARCANUM THF has ALIENO all-wheel steering, given that in addition to the main front steering system controlled by the driver through the steering wheel, which controls the steering of the front wheels, ARCANUM THF also has active, robotic and adaptive rear steering system, that can turn the rear wheels up to 3 degrees in either direction for faster and more confident cornering, better maneuverability, increased stability and more grip.

The exact steering angle of the rear wheels is determined by the main ALIENO ADAS system (“The Alien”) based on current parameters such as selected main drive mode (Street, Track or Race), speed, acceleration, throttle and brake positions, steering angle of the front wheels set via the steering wheel, slip angle, lateral acceleration, position of the car on the road, slope of the road and others.

At low speeds, the system turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the direction of turning of the front wheels. This gives of ARCANUM THF a faster turn, as it effectively shortens the turning radius of the car.

At high speeds, the system turns the rear wheels in a direction coinciding with the direction of turning of the front wheels, which virtually leads to lengthening of the wheelbase of the car. This provides increased stability on the road and improves cornering efficiency on the track.

As a result, the system increases the car’s responsiveness at both low and high speeds, including at a turning maneuver, reversing maneuver, entering and exiting a parking space, avoid obstacles, highway lane change, overtaking maneuver. It also minimizes both understeer and oversteer.

ALIENO ARCANUM THF has three braking systems: ALIENO hydraulic braking system, ALIENO regenerative electromagnetic braking system (which is expected to become the main braking system in the future for all ALIENO models) and ALIENO robotic air braking system. Optionally, a fourth braking system is also available – ALIENO air brake parachute system with drag racing parachutes.

The ALIENO hydraulic braking system is based on equal in size and characteristics brake calipers and brake discs on the front and rear wheels, and more precisely, high-strength forged aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers with 10 titanium pistons (titanium monobloc fixed brake calipers are optionally available) and huge carbon-ceramic brake discs with a diameter of 440 mm (17.32″) and a thickness of 40 mm (1.57″). Other sizes and carbon-carbon brake discs are also optionally available.

The innovative ALIENO regenerative electromagnetic braking system is implemented by the control system with the motor controllers, by using of the electric motors in generator mode (in a passive-braking with recuperation and accumulation of energy), and also through forced rotation of the electric motors in the opposite direction of the direction of movement of the car (in an active-braking with energy consumption).

When passively braking with recuperation and accumulation of energy, the control system switches part or all electric motors into generator mode. The recuperated energy generated while braking, is accumulated into the battery and the supercapacitors, which are recharged from the energy accumulated in the braking process (the energy gathered by the electric motors working in generator mode). Passive-braking with recuperation and accumulation of energy is possible when smoothly braking the car (smoothly reducing the speed of the car).

When actively braking with energy consumption, part or all of the electric motors are forced to rotate in the opposite direction of the direction of movement of the car, in order to achieve braking force on the wheels. In this case, energy from the battery and the supercapacitors can also be consumed, if the energy generated during braking (from the electric motors operating in generator mode) is insufficient. Active-braking with energy consumption, is applied at more abruptly aggressive braking, when requiring the car to brake in the shortest time and distance.

The innovative ALIENO robotic air braking system, is realized through multiple active robotic elements, flaps and mechanisms, that make up the innovative ALIENO active, robotic and adaptive aerodynamics of the car. That includes also the active robotic rear wing, which moves in different positions based on the needs, providing not only maximum grip in corners or at maximum speed, but also acts as an instantaneous air brake in case of extreme braking.

To ensure better grip with the road surface, ALIENO ARCANUM THF has extremely wide front and rear tires (which are the same in size), mounted on ALIENO robotic pre-preg carbon-kevlar wheels.

The STR (Street) modification is available with 21″ wheels and 355/25ZR21 tires, but 325/30ZR21 tires are optionally available, as well as 20″ wheels and 345/30ZR20 tires.

The TRC (Track) modification is available with 20″ wheels and 345/30ZR20 tires, but 21″ wheels and 325/30ZR21 tires are optionally available.

The Race (RCE) modification is available with 19″ wheels and racing slicks at customer’s choice.

The innovative ALIENO robotic pre-preg carbon-kevlar wheels, in addition to its low weight, unique design, Center Lock, strength and maximum torsional rigidity, are also characterized with a robotic construction with protective mechanisms and built-in sensors interacting with the intelligence of the car (“the alien”), in order to predict and detect damage to tires, wheels and brakes, and to minimize damages in case of imbalance, loss of pressure, wear, overheating, rupture or bursting (blowout) of a tire while driving the car. ARCANUM THF performs continuous real-time diagnostics of all its nodes, including the tires, the wheels and the braking systems, as adapting its behavior according to their condition.
