SIERRA Cars Launches ECHO, All-Electric Consumer Race Vehicles, at SEMA Show 2023

PROVO, Utah, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SIERRA Cars, a trailblazing force in ultra-performance vehicles, will unveil their latest racing technology at SEMA Show 2023 with the launch of its latest innovation—the all-electric ECHO performance-vehicle line. 

SIERRA Cars will make its first-ever appearance at SEMA Show this year, showcasing its new electric car line, powered by Hypercraft. Unlike previous SIERRA Cars models, which were limited production, the SIERRA ECHO line is primed for consumer availability in three distinct configurations: the ECHO (base model), the ECHO R-Spec, and the ECHO Block Edition. The ECHO line represents SIERRA Cars' commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle technology, while maintaining the proven chassis and exclusive appeal that have defined the brand since its founding in 2018.

In June of 2023, SIERRA Cars officially declared its commitment to an all-electric future, accompanied by the debut of the SIERRA ECHO line, an all-electric platform featuring the limited Block Edition model. In its debut race, driver Lucy Block conquered the challenging Pikes Peak track, demonstrating the chassis's exceptional performance and reliability. The brand new R-Spec, featuring performance specs similar to that of the Pikes Peak ECHO Block Edition, was created to make high-performance racing-spec vehicles accessible to the everyday driver.

"As a racer myself, the inspiration behind the ECHO line came from a desire to break down the barriers between professional racing and everyday enthusiasts," says Cole Powelson, Founder of SIERRA Cars. "I know the joy that comes from pushing the limits on the track, and I wanted others to experience that too. The ECHO line is a testament to breaking down the exclusivity of high-performance vehicles, making electric racing not just a dream for a select few but a reality for every driver who craves the adrenaline of the race."

SEMA attendees will get a first-look at this ultra-performance electrified chassis platform. The ECHO R-Spec will be on display in the SEMA EV & Future Propulsion booth #24618 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Additionally, the SIERRA Cars chassis and electric powertrain will be on display in the SEMA FutureTech Studio.
