Elextra EV concept – 680 hp, 0-100 km/h in 2.3 seconds

It seems like everyone is out to make a fast electric vehicle (EV) these days, and here’s another one. This is the Elextra, a concept EV from Classic Factory – a firm based in Switzerland – and it has all the big numbers you’d expect.

With a total system output of 680 hp, the Elextra will accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. That is quicker than the Nio EP9 (2.7 seconds), Porsche Mission E concept (3.5 seconds) and Tesla Model S P100D. The top speed will be limited to 250 km/h.

The drivetrain consists of two electric motors, one on each axle to provide all-wheel drive. A control system distributes torque independently to the front and rear wheels to ensure maximum traction in various conditions.

The company also claims the Elextra can provide a range of up to 600 km when travelling at a speed of 100 km/h, although it did not reveal any specifications relating to the four-door, four-seater car’s battery pack.

What we do know is the Elextra will have stiff and extremely strong carbon-fibre tub along with a body shell made of the same material. The benefit is obviously weight savings, which is claimed to be 25% less than conventional aluminium constructions.

As for the styling, the Elextra’s front features a steeply angled bonnet, flanked by slim headlights. Moving on, the EV also sports a wide stance to it, along with a long and relatively low roofline that includes a V-shaped wing.

Production will be limited to just 100 units, each hand-built near Stuttgart, Germany by an unnamed company specialising in low-volume vehicle manufacturing.

    You need to qualify what you just said. Not everyone. One company still backward. Don’t even have hybrid also which is 10 yr old technology. What more PHEC and EV.

    This company still begging billions FREE money
