nanoFlowcell Quant F unveiled ahead of Geneva debut

Liechtenstein-based electric car firm nanoFlowcell has revealed its Quant F concept vehicle prior to its official unveiling at the upcoming 2015 Geneva motor show in March. The car is described as a “complete re-design of its predecessor (the Quant E)”, the Quant F touts a peak output of 1,075 hp. Seriously.

The four-seater concept is also deemed to possess an operation range of up to 800 km as well as a theoretical top speed of 300 km/h on pure electric power. Providing all that juice comes courtesy of four electric motors, effectively making this an all-wheel drive car.

Additional standout tech is present in the form of an in-house two-speed automatic gearbox, “the likes of which has not existed to date” and an alternative drive system which employs ionic fluid instead of the oxygen/hydrogen combo found in regular fuel cells.

“With a total tank capacity of 500 litres, comprising of two 250-litre tanks accommodated separately in the Quant’s substructure, we have achieved an increase in range of over 30 percent in comparison to the Quant E from 2014,” said nanoFlowcell chief technical officer, Nunzio La Vecchia.

New to the Quant F concept is the inclusion of a two-stage rear spoiler that deploys at speeds of over 80 km/h to help generate downforce. The firm’s signature QUANTeYES head lamps feature backlit crystals that project a ‘Q’ symbol when switched on.

According to Nunzio, the exterior of the Quant F is “already 100% in compliance with the requirements pertaining to series production homologation” while the interior “is around 90% in compliance.” Does the thought of an electric car capable of 300 km/h as well as a range of 800 km sound too good to be true?

    Why cant we create stg like this?
    Maybe too much textbook knowledge?
    Think about it…we can have electrolyte in drinks such as Revive for that so-called extra energy…so why dont we use the same idea for a fuel-cell car…
    oh man…1075hp/800km range/300kmh top speed/500litres of fuel…this is science with imagination!!!

    Did anyone notice at 800km and 500 litres….the car gets 62.5 L/km (4 mpg)?

    The potential of this technology is great. This car doesn’t run on petrol or diesel or any fossil fuel that matter. It runs on liquid electrolytes..=salt water! Even it’s 500 litres..so what.. the sea is the limit of this fuel.
