Geneva 2010: NVL Quant Electric Supercar

This is the NVL Quant four-seat electric supercar unveiled at Geneva Motor Show

The car was originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last year as a joint project between NLV and Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg.

In order to cut as much weight as possible, the car has used a carbon-fiber monotube backbone chassis and a proprietary power storage system called Flow Accumulator Energy Storage (FAES). The FAES system has been developed by NLV themselves, weighing in a total of about 450 kg.

NLV claims the FAES system can be charged to full capacity in 20 minutes and give the vehicle a range of about 300 miles.

The NLV Quant is coated with a thin film made of pyrite, which converts light into electricity to supply the operating electronics and also help to extend the range.

Power comes from four electric motors (one for each wheel) with some type of torque vectoring software to maximize traction. There are two different power systems on board.

The body of the Quant measures in at 16 feet in length, features a pair of gull-wing doors to provide easy access to all four passengers. Interior features include multiple infotainment display screens, tri-zone climate control, and LED detailing.

Though their current relationship with Koenigsegg is unclear, NLV says they should have a running prototype up this year, with a full production model slated for 2012.
