NanoFlowCell Teases New Small Coupe Concept
There's a "new kid in town", says NanoFlowCell, which has just shared this image of what looks like a small or compact coupe concept.
We say 'looks like', because the drive technology R&D company from Lichtenstein isn’t ready yet to share any information about the car.
Whether we'll see it making its debut in the flesh at the Geneva Motor Show on March 3 alongside the more production ready version of their Quant F battery-powered saloon or if they'll simply outline the project with pictures and details, is another question that remains unanswered.
Given the revolutionary drivetrain technology that they've developed over the years for the Quant concepts, it’s highly likely that this study will use their high energy density nanoFlowcell system to feed up to four electric motors.

NanoFlowCell's Quantino Study for an Affordable Electric Coupe Has a 1,000km Range
Liechtenstein-based company NanoFlowCell confirmed our suspicions that it would present a second concept car at next month's Geneva Motor Show.
It's called the 'QUANTiNO' and it follows the recently announced Quant F saloon (well, technically it's a coupe, but its Gullwing-style doors span 2 meters or 6.6 feet long) that updates last year's Quant e-Sportlimousine.
The Quantino is a small battery-powered coupe model measuring 3,910mm (154 inches) in length and can accommodate 2+2 passengers. For reference, the Hyundai Veloster is 4,219 mm (166.1 in) long.
"As the small brother of the QUANT E and the QUANT F, we wanted to emphasize the fact that the QUANTiNO belongs to the QUANT family," commented Chief Technical Officer Nunzio La Vecchia. "Both the front and rear end clearly demonstrate this kinship. In particular, the large 22-inch wheels which the QUANTiNO has adopted from its big brothers in the QUANT family set it apart in its class in terms of appearance."
Under the swoopy body, the Quantino uses a variation of the Quant F's flow cell battery storage technology with an ionic liquid that's stored in a pair of 175-liter tanks, one with a positive charge and the other with a negative, which provides power to a low-voltage drive system with four 25kW electric motors producing a total of 100kw or about 134PS / 136HP.
According to NanoFlowCell, this set-up allows the Quantino to achieve speeds of more than 200km/h (124mph) and a pure-electric driving range of over 1,000km (620 miles), without any emissions, which are pretty darn impressive claims.
"The QUANTiNO is an electric vehicle for everyone.," said Nunzio La Vecchia. "Affordable and featuring an extravagant, unique design. It is not just a concept vehicle - it will become reality in the course of this year. We will be driving the QUANTiNO in 2015. And we aim to attain approval for road use very quickly."

nanoFlowcell's Groundbreaking 'Quantino' Debuts in Geneva
nanoFlowcell AG unveiled the world's first QUANT low-voltage vehicle, with a estimated (and downright amazing) range of over 1,000 kilometers, as well as a rated voltage of only 48 volts. We're shocked!
The QUANTiNO also generates an output of four times 25 kW/136 PS, with a combination of nanoFlowcell, buffer system and electric motors. That will get you to a top speed of 200km/h, which is decent, as well as give you a range of over 1,000 km, which is a little more than decent. It's amazing!
This small 2+2 seater has a total length of 3.91 meters and looks, we think, tremendous. Somebody really let their imagination fly when they were designing this car, and we're surprised nanoFlowcell didn't talk more about the looks - especially with those 22" wheels inherited from its big brothers the QUANT E and QUANT F.
If you strip the QUANTiNO down, you'll also find two 175 liter tanks, despite its total capacity of 350 liters of ionic liquids (one carrying a positive charge, the other a negative charge). Refueling is quite basic, except for the fact that both tanks are filled with different liquids simultaneously.
"This year's Geneva Motor Show is going to be QUANTastic," stated Professor Jens Ellermann, President of the Board of Directors of nanoFlowcell AG. "In our view the future of electromobility is clearly the flow cell. Anyone dealing with the future of electromobility and sustainable drive technologies professionally will no longer be able to ignore the topic of the flow cell."
nanoFlowcell AG will also be expanding its activities based on the flow cell, in order to cover a more diverse range, not just in the automotive sector. But still that's the only sector we're discussing right now, we're excited about the fact that we'll be seeing a first prototype of the QUANTiNO take to the road as early as this year. The people behind it are hoping for a rapid official stamp of approval, while preparing for mass production.
So are we!
