Project : ARES

is one of Real Motors vehicle projects, intended to study the relationship between humans and the Future MachinesTM. First introduced in 2024, Project : ARES was built around the visible and physical qualities of the machine: power, proportion, and materials. However, it appears there are intangible characteristics of the machine that revealed something beyond all that, a sense that the journey not only covers the distance, but the expanse of time.

“What is it?”

It’s a one hundred horse power1 electric café racer with 1,000 N.m of torque at the rear wheel2. But that’s not all of it. We did not build it for the adrenaline. Project : ARES was created to study something stranger, and more difficult to measure: the psychological connection to the machine itself. There is a learning curve. There is a period one needs to get use to. But the result is unspeakable.

The PARTICIPANT

Once you own one of the limited samples, you are an official participant of the Project : ARES. You may also interact with our engineering team from time to time. Please do not treat it as a product. The artifact is only a small part of the whole experience.

As a participant of the Project, we request you tune your attention to the emotions, and the inner feeling during each interaction. We also request that you carry a future-minded spirit. For the conditions of today may need to evolve to make it feel at home.

PRE-ORDER

LOT 01

Delivery Estimates:

For North America Territories: Early 2027, after Alpha Build, Founder’s Edition. LOT 01 is build to the order of Pre-order sequence. EU and GCC, Q1 2027 after Homologation is completed.

Production Run Availability for LOT 01

Limited to only 250 samples worldwide will be produced.

Variants and Final Configuration

LOT 01 participants will have the option to choose between various liveries offered by Real Motors Design team. Founders Edition will have exclusive liveries. Final Configuration will be disclosed before production begins.

THE ELECTRIC ANALOGUE TM

There are a few things we discovered along the way. Among them, the essence of progress is to find new laws. The analogue nature of the physical world connects something deep inside us. It’s not precise and sometimes hard to predict. Yet it offers something real, organic, and often times, something pure and powerful.

It’s not input and output, it’s the change, the amplitude, the relativity.

It is the way force arrives before the mind fully understands it. It is the distance between intention and response, and the feeling that lives inside that distance. This is where emotion begins. Not from a readout, not from a number, and not from a program, but from the subtle exchange between you and the mechanism.

We have learned that the machine we build is not meant to perform but to be felt.
