Will the $3 million Estrema Fulminea concept be lightning strike or just a flash in the sky?
A remarkable four-motor electric hypercar that will cost €1,961,000 ($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.
