A potential flagship version of either the R1S or R1T could pump out over 1,000 hp
It's only been a week since Rivian unveiled two new additions to its expanding lineup of EVs, but the Californian startup may have more surprises in store for its current range. Recently, it came to light that Rivian filed a trademark application for the name 'R1X' with the United States Patent and Trademark Office back in 2021. However, the application wasn't published online until October 2023.

If used for a flagship version of the R1S, it could compete against vehicles like the GMC Hummer EV SUV, Tesla Model X Plaid, and a potential Sapphire-badged version of the upcoming Lucid Gravity.
