PERRINn is a better team

open, transparent, sustainable

we are going to break a world record and share it with everybody, here's why 

"I think about humanity with a different perspective.

Setting a new lap record at the Nurburgring with our electric hypercar PERRINN 424 is very much like breaking a world record. It is extremely difficult and the current record holder Porsche is an amazing brand that we all love and respect.

We can break this record because of you. We are only adding a small brick to an infrastructure that has been built by people for hundreds of years. The technology, the communication tools, the manufacturing capabilities, the knowledge we are using have all been evolving and developed by people before us. I believe that instead of owning this record, it is only fair to give it back to the people.

The way we will give it back is by sharing our recipe, our open source designs, our data, our communications. Everything about this record will be documented and accessible (except a few things we will not be allowed to share 😅 ).

Imagine a place, an online community where communication is open and transparent, where we are all members of a large network, where we talk and exchange money with each other publicly so we don’t need to trust each other as much or be anxious about our future, where we become a team with more certainty.

PERRINN is that space.

Feel free to join our team and enjoy a new experience with us.

PERRINN, We are a Team."

Project status

Nico Perrin (Founder)

I have 25 years of experience at the top level of Motorsport. My career choices were made with 424 in mind. I wanted to become one of the best engineers in my industry capable to deliver such a complex project.

I was lucky to work for world class teams and to invest time in all aspects of Motorsport engineering and innovation, from concept design, aerodynamic / mechanical design and optimisation to race engineering.

I have a passion for global innovation, sustainability and new technologies.
