The market for fully electric vehicles has transitioned into the hypercar realm. Independent brands like the Drako are leading the way, creating models like the GTE to display the balance of non-emission technology, performance, and design. Its entry into the automotive industry had made a significant first impression, with the revelation that the hypercar is capable of 1200 horsepower. A first impression that is comparable to meeting a successful business individual in a sophisticated suit. This week’s Wheels and Wardrobe focuses on paring the $1.3 million-dollar Drako GTE with the apparel and accessories to compliment the affluent lifestyle.
