One world .....UGLY!

Not ugly for me but .. different :-) I am always surprised to see that they can developp new infomedia systems and this new dual-clutch gearbox while being such a small company :?: (same for Pagani). I like these two manufacturers (Pagani more than Koenigsegg I must say) but I wonder how they do.

they bought it from somewhere else?

Ewwwwww. But it's got photovoltaic coating that will absorb sunlight to power the battery.

Things to know

• Swedish supercar marque Koenigsegg and NLV Solar AG, a pioneer in photovoltaics and accumulator technology, have joined forces to create the Quant. The brainchild of this marriage of power and energy is a four-seater solar electric car. A full-scale model is to be unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Salon, with the two companies currently working on running prototypes to scale up for series production.
• The advances in electric power generation and storage, combined with the aerodynamic, futuristic Koenigsegg design and engineering, will enable the NLV Quant to charge the FAES(Flow Accumulator Energy Storage) to full capacity in 20 minutes and give the vehicle a range of 500 kilometres. The additional power input from the invisible, thin-flm photovoltaic coating that covers the body of the car, further increases the range potential.
• • Range of up to 500 km thanks to the new FAES technology, with rapid charging and unlimited charging cycles
  • Thin-flm photovoltaic coating of car body
  • Asynchronous motor technology
  • Minimised running and manufacturing costs thanks to new technology
  • Optimised safety
  • Carbon chassi and Aluminium/carbon body.
• • Power: 512 bhp
  • Torque: 715 nm
  • 0–100 km/h: 5.2 seconds
  • Top speed: 275 km/h
  • Curb weight: 1780 kg
  • Width: 2016 mm incl rear-view mirrors, Length: 4879 mm, Height: 1335 mm
  • Rear-wheel drive
  • Four-wheel brake regeneration
  • Body covered in NLV photovoltaic thin flm solar coating
  • NLV mobile redox Flow Accumulator Energy Storage system - FAES
  • Space for 4 full grown individuals

Interesting, i feel like the first time i picked up a car mag and had no clue what any of the specs meant :D
I'd really like to see the back of that car in a wind tunnel, on the one hand it's clearly streamlined, but on the other hand i would expect that gap to cause major flow separation. Then again it's got those almost boat like protrusions that seem to have a very specific aero purpose

It pretty much means that this is an experimental electric car with a really streamlined body, a fast charging system, and a coating that will absorb solar energy. ;-)

Well yeah but cmon, that's what it does, which is different from understanding the specs
