The Donut Lab Electric Motors: Redefining Power and Torque at CES 2025

The Donut Lab electric motors debuted at CES 2025 and they were as bold as they are revolutionary. The startup showcased a quintet of all-electric motors, each boasting a see-through design that is as lightweight as it is powerful.

From drones to hypercars, Donut Lab promises to upend electric powertrain standards with an audacious mix of minimal mass and maximum output. The flagship? A 630-kW (845-hp) motor with a jaw-dropping power-to-weight ratio of 15.75 kW/kg. That’s no small feat in a world where cutting mass often compromises torque.
