What would happen if, in the future, emotions were outlawed? This is the plot of RPM, the new sci-fi series co-produced by Infinito Studios, Startling Media and #cupra, along with Game of Thrones co-executive producer #vincegerardis. Currently in development, the production will consist of an initial season of 11 episodes. The first teaser was unveiled exclusively at the digital event to mark CUPRA’s third anniversary.
- Revolutions per minute. In the year 2101 a cloud of toxic fog hangs over Barcelona. The city is now a dark place. This darkness becomes even more apparent in humanity: all emotions have been banned and controlled by a select few. However, there is a group of rebels who reject these terms and defy authority with adrenaline. They are the “RPM’s”, and they use cars from another era to compete in underground races. Their mission? To awaken humanity.
The thrill of driving. The title of the series is no coincidence. “It’s named RPM after the revolutions per minute of car engines, but at the same time it talks about different revolutions, such as the emotional revolution of feeling alive while driving, and of being a rebel, of feeling human” says the series creator and director #alberturia. In that sense, #cupra has a key role to play in fulfilling the mission of the “RPM’s”. “Our cars, now and in the future, will always defend that driving is an emotion. This is very much in line with the #cupra philosophy” explains Antonino Labate, director of Strategy, Business Development & Operation at #cupra. He adds: “We’re a Tribe because we have feelings when we drive, and cars are very important for these emotions; technology without emotions is something that makes no sense to us.” That’s why the protagonist, played by #nataliareyes, drives a #cupra e-Racer, the world’s first 100% electric touring racing car.
