Inside the Machine — Chassis
Engineering the Core
The Obsidian X1 is built around a philosophy of absolute rigidity and integration. The chassis is not just a frame; it is the central nervous system of the vehicle, connecting power, control, and safety in a unified carbon-titanium structure.
Carbon-Fiber Monocoque
T1100 Grade CarbonA single-piece structural tub designed for F1-grade safety and rigidity, weighing only 85kg while bearing all primary loads.
Structural Rigidity
Zero FlexEngineered for maximum torsional stiffness (65,000 Nm/deg), ensuring suspension geometry remains precise under extreme cornering forces.
Low Center of Gravity
Sub-Axle CGThe battery acts as a stressed member at the lowest point of the chassis, keeping the center of mass well below the wheel axles for planted stability.

Inside the Machine — Engine
Engineering the Core
At the heart of the X1 lies a revolutionary axial-flux powertrain. Designed for immediate torque and sustained high-RPM efficiency, this tri-motor system eliminates mechanical lag, delivering pure, unfiltered acceleration directly to the tarmac.
Axial Flux Architecture
Tri-Motor AWDCompact pan-cake style motors that deliver ultra-high torque density, allowing for a powertrain 50% lighter than traditional radial flux setups.
Peak Output
1,450 HP / 1,850 NmThe combined tri-motor system generates over 1,450 HP (1,080 kW) with near-instantaneous torque delivery from zero RPM.
High-Density Windings
97% EfficiencySpecialized rectangular copper hairpin windings maximize the slot fill factor, increasing magnetic flux and overall motor efficiency.
SiC Power Electronics

Design Philosophy
Aesthetics of Speed
Design that does not apologize.
Form follows force.
Aerodynamic Form
Every curve is dictated by the wind. The X1’s silhouette is a result of thousands of hours of wind tunnel testing, ensuring laminar airflow attachment from the nose to the active rear diffuser.
Minimalist Cockpit
The interior strips away distraction. A driver-focused layout places all critical controls on the steering yoke, while a holographic HUD projects telemetry directly onto the asphalt ahead.
Material Purity
We use materials in their honest form. Exposed forged carbon fiber, cold-touch anodized aluminum, and sustainable Alcantara create a tactile environment that feels as engineered as the drivetrain.
Signature Lighting
The X1 identifies itself with a predatory laser-matrix light signature. At night, the active aero elements are subtly illuminated, turning the car into a moving sculpture of light and shadow.
Dynamic Presence
Unrelenting Speed
Nocturnal Predator
The Obsidian Philosophy
Precision is not an act.
It is a standard.
Vision
Obsidian exists to challenge the excess of the hypercar world. We do not chase numbers for marketing; we chase the purity of driving physics. Every gram of weight, every degree of camber, and every line of code serves a singular purpose: absolute connection between driver and machine.
Philosophy
Form follows force. We believe that true beauty in automotive design is the result of aerodynamic necessity. There are no fake vents, no decorative wings. If a feature does not enhance performance or cooling, it does not belong on the X1.
Engineering
Power is nothing without control. Our engineering mindset prioritizes system-level optimization over isolated peak statistics. The integration of our tri-motor powertrain with the active chassis creates a vehicle that feels organic, responsive, and alive.
Craftsmanship
We combine the precision of advanced robotics with the soul of human touch. From the laser-aligned carbon weave to the hand-stitched Alcantara interfaces, every Obsidian X1 is a testament to the uncompromising standards of modern manufacturing.
Future
The X1 is not a static object; it is an evolving platform. Through modular hardware architecture and software-defined dynamics, we ensure that the vehicle remains at the bleeding edge of performance long after it leaves the factory.
