A remarkable four-motor electric hypercar that will cost €1,961,000 ($A3.07 million) but promises to hit 320km/h in less than 10 seconds has been revealed by Italian EV start-up Automobili Estrema.
The sleek Estrema Fulminea – which is Italian for ‘lightning’ will boast two different types of energy storage (solid-state lithium-ion batteries paired with a super-capacitor) to deliver almost double the energy density of standard lithium-ion batteries.
In concept form, the Fulminea promises 520km of WLTP-cycle range from its twin battery technologies, and Automobili Estrema founder and CEO Gianfranco Pizzuto claims the first of a 61-car production run will be on the streets in 2023.

‘We don’t want Imola to be a Formula 1 museum’

Race organisers at Imola are determined to keep the circuit on the Formula 1 calendar beyond 2021, saying that the famous old circuit is “not a museum” after a thrilling race at the weekend.
The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was first used in F1 back in 1980, hosting races all the way through until 2006 before it was taken off the calendar.
The pandemic meant that Formula 1 pieced together a calendar predominantly in Europe to minimise travel where possible and Imola was reinstated for 2020, carrying on into this season.
Organisers used the opportunity to advertise the region to the world through the Made in Italy campaign. Emilia Romagna is the home of the famous Motorsport Valley – which connects Bologna, Modena and Maranello, alongside being in close proximity to several tracks, including both Imola and legendary motorcycle venue Misano.
