Default NanoFlowcell Quant F Brought All of Its 1,090 PS to Geneva

What the Quant F embodies is the perfect demonstration of the fact that hypercar performance and environmental sustainability don't have to be mutually exclusive. Did you hear that, Ferrari?

And to keep things completely bonkers, know that you can reach speeds of more than 300 km/h in full electric mode, without any harmful emissions. Its total range is a massively impressive 800 km - almost double what Audi has recently managed to get from its all-new R8 e-tron supercar.

But then again, most of todays all-electric or hybrid supercars/hypercars are excellent on both road and track. Not to be bearers of bad new here, but we're guessing the Quant F isn't lapping the Nurburgring particularly quickly any time soon.

The 2.3 tonnes e-sports limousine, measuring 5.25 meters in length, can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100km/h) in just 2.8 seconds.

That's as fast as a McLaren P1! And if heading out to the track isn't your priority, then taking a chance on a flow-cell vehicle might be worth it, some time in the future.

Besides, this is exactly how Tesla Model S P85D owners think. They don't need the agility of an Audi RS7 or a CLS 63 AMG, and so they "settle" on the straight line interstellar acceleration of their electric car.

According to nanoFlowcell, the Quant F's interior is already over 90% ready for production, as crash tests are still being carried out in the US and in Germany.

Overall, this is definitely one of the most interesting cars at this years' Geneva Motor Show.

Default nanoFlowcell QUANT F concept electrifies Geneva crowd with 1,090 HP

Weighs 2,300 kg

German specialty marque nanoFlowcell has introduced in Geneva the QUANT F concept which comes with a variety of upgrades compared to its predecessor, the QUANT E.

The design hasn't changed that much but we do notice the new headlights and an automatically deployable rear spoiler. It has also been fitted with a new carbon fiber monocoque featuring narrower A pillars providing the flow cell electric vehicle with a more spacious interior cabin.

Moreover, there's a new two-speed transmission while the upgraded nanoFlowcell feeds 50 amperes of current in the new buffer system which can supply more than 2000 amperes to provide full performance for a short amount of time.

Thanks to its four electric motors, the QUANT F has a peak output of 1,090 HP (801.69 kW) and will run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds before topping out at more than 186 mph (300 km/h). These are some amazing performances taking into account the "e-sports limousine" tips the scales at a whopping 2,300 kg (5,070 lbs) and is 5.25 meters long.

It can provide a maximum range of 800 km (497 miles) thanks to the 500 liters of ionic fluids stored in two 250-liter tanks installed in the car's substructure. Its permanent four-wheel drive system can be automatically converted into a rear-wheel drive layout at high speeds or during high acceleration. When this happens, the front axle is declutched and runs in idling mode.

nanoFlowcell says the exterior has received full series production homologation while the interior is 90 percent in compliance with homologation requirements.
